The size and severity of the fires in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 surprised ecologists
and managers alike. Much has been learned about the causes and consequences of crown …

Stand structure, the arrangement and interrelationships of live and dead trees, has been
linked to forest regeneration, nutrient cycling, wildlife habitat, and climate regulation. The …

This book assembles the relevant studies of fire intensity, rate of spread, fuel consumption,
fire frequency, and fire weather in the North American boreal forest. The central thesis is that …

Temperate-zone forests have been shaped by fire, wind and grazing over thousands of
years. This book provides a major contribution to the study of their dynamics by considering …

Mortality rates of 205 tree and shrub species were estimated during two intervals, 1982—
1985 and 1985—1990, in two size classes, 1—10 and≥ 10 cm in diameter, in a 50—ha …

Surface fire intensity (kilowatts per metre) and crown fire initiation were predicted using
Rothermel's 1972 and Van Wagner's 1977 fire models with fuel data from 47 upland …

The Yellowstone fires of 1988 affected> 250000 ha, creating a mosaic of burn severities
across the landscape and providing an ideal opportunity to study effects of fire size and …

In order to test whether changes in forest composition observed while sampling portions of
the landscape originating from different fires may be explained by stand‐level processes, I …

The frequency of natural disturbances and their influence on the forest landscape mosaic
were investigated on three large tracts of primary forest in Upper Michigan. Seventy 0.5—ha …

Fire, which is the dominant disturbance in the boreal forest, creates substantial
heterogeneity in soil burn severity at patch and landscape scales. We present results from …
