Assessing simulated ecosystem processes for climate variability research at Glacier National Park, USA
Glacier National Park served as a test site for ecosystem analyses that involved a suite of integrated models embedded within a geographic information system. The goal of the exercise was to provide managers with maps that could illustrate probable…

Patterns of lodgepole pine regeneration following the 1988 Yellowstone fires
In 1988, fires killed extensive lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex. Loud) in Yellowstone National Park. This species bears both serotinous and non-serotinous cones, with the former most common in fire-origin stands of an even-aged character.…

Fire and insects in northern and boreal forest ecosystems of North America
Fire and insects are natural disturbance agents in many forest ecosystems, often interacting to affect succession, nutrient cycling, and forest species composition. We review literature pertaining to effects of fire-insect interactions on ecological…

Mapping historic fire regimes for the western United States: integrating remote sensing and biophysical data
We have developed a spatial database of historic natural fire regimes for the eleven western States to provide information in support of expected national increases in prescribed burning. Fire regimes are described in terms both of frequency and…

Mycorrhization, physiognomy, and first-year survivability of conifer seedlings following natural fire in Grand Teton National Park
Ectomycorrhiza formation, survivability, and physiognomic characteristics were assessed for conifer seedlings encountered 1 and 2 years postfire in the Huck burn site near Grand Teton National Park. Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. germinated and was…
