Although fire consumes much of the forest floor, few studies have examined the change in forest floor characteristics with increasing time since fire. Mixed forests of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Doug. Ex. laws) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga…

Large disturbances create spatial heterogeneity in vegetation re-establishment, and documenting such variability is critical for understanding and predicting succession. We quantified the spatial heterogeneity of lodgepole pine sapling densities 10…

This paper presents the computation procedures for estimating average annual water yields based on annual precipitation and vegetation cover types. This procedures allows for an estimation of water yields under current conditions, under various…

Western US ponderosa pine forests have recently suffered extensive stand-replacing fires followed by hill slope erosion and sedimentation. These fires are usually attributed to increased stand density as a result of fire suppression, grazing and…

Understanding the relative influence of fuels and climate on wildfires across the Rocky Mountains is necessary to predict how fires may respond to a changing climate and to define effective fuel management approaches to controlling wildfire in this…

In 1999, a coarse-scale map of Fire Regime Condition Classes (FRCC) was developed for the conterminous United States (US) to help address contemporary fire management issues and to quantify changes in fuels from historical conditions. This map and…
