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…

Influence of fire on factors that affect site productivity
Presettlement fire played an important role in nutrient conversion, plant succession, diversity, and stand dynamics in coniferous forests of western North America. Prescribed fire can maintain site quality and contribute to control of insect and…
