Long-term recovery of Wyoming big sagebrush after four treatments
Long-term recovery of Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentatassp.wyomingensisBeetle and Young) after four treatments was investigated. Treatments at a south-western Montana site were spraying with 2,4-D, plowing and rotocutting, all applied in…

Testing the assumptions of fire-history studies: an examination of modern charcoal accumulation in Yellowstone National Park, USA
The interpretation of sedimentary charcoal in lakes rests on several assumptions that concern the source are of charcoal, the timing of charcoal introduction, and the patterns of charcoal accumulation within a lake following fire. To examine…

Examples of fire restoration in Glacier National Park
Covering just over 1 million acres, Glacier National Park straddles the Continental Divide in northwestern Montana. Diverse vegetation communities include moist western cedar- western hemlock (Thuja plicata - Tsuga heterophylla) old growth forests…

Restoring recreational and residential forests
Several decades of fire suppression following logging around the turn-of-the-century has produced dense, evenage stands of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). They contrast with the original forests where…

Reestablishing fire-adapted communities to riparian forests in the ponderosa pine zone
Ecological research has implicated the practice of fire exclusion as a major contributor to forest health problems in the semiarid ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) zone of the Inland West (Mutch and others 1993; Sampson and others 1994). Prior to…

The concept: restoring ecological structure and process in ponderosa pine forests
Elimination of the historic pattern of frequent low-intensity fires in ponderosa pine and pine-mixed conifer forests has resulted in major ecological disruptions. Prior to 1900, open stands of large, long-lived, fire-resistant ponderosa pine were…

Indian fires as an ecological influence in the Northern Rockies
The importance of fire as an ecological disturbance in the Northern Rockies is well accepted. Lightning is generally thought to have been the main source of ignition prior to settlement by Europeans. But writings of explorers and pioneers mention…

Variation in estimates of fire intervals: a closer look at fire history on the Bitterroot National Forest
The authors examine variation in the length of mean intervals between fires (occurring between the years 1600 and 1910) in sample units of various sizes, ranging from a point on the ground (single tree) to a large stand (200 to 800 acres; 80 to 320…
