Bat Response to Differing Fire Severity in Mixed-Conifer Forest California, USA
Wildlife response to natural disturbances such as fire is of conservation concern to managers, policy makers, and scientists, yet information is scant beyond a few well-studied groups (e.g., birds, small mammals). We examined the effects of wildfire severity on bats, a taxon of high conservation concern, at both the stand (<1 ha) and landscape scale in response to the 2002 McNally fire in the S...
متن کاملGeographic Variation in Mixed-Conifer Forest Fire Regimes in California
This paper reviews recent research from California on geographic variability in mixed conifer (MC) forest fire regimes. MC forests are typically described as having experienced primarily frequent, low to moderate severity burns prior to fire suppression that created a mosaic of vegetation patches with variable structure. Research throughout California generally supports this view, but recent re...
متن کاملPostglacial vegetation and fire history, eastern Klamath Mountains, California, USA
Pollen and high-resolution charcoal data from Bluff Lake and Crater Lake, California, indicate similar changes in climate, vegetation and fire history during the last 15 500 years. Pollen data at Bluff Lake suggest that the vegetation between c. 15 500 and 13 100 cal. BP consisted of subalpine parkland with scattered Pinus and Abies. After 13 100 cal. BP a relatively closed forest of P. montico...
متن کاملDecay of Fire-caused Snags in Ocala San Ine
Sand pine (I-‘inu.r c/trrr.srr) scrub is adapted to, and regenerated by, periodic stantl-rcplnccment wildfire, which consumch the understory and kills the overstay. The heat of the fire opens the serotinous cones of’ Ocala sand pine (P. c~/nu.srr var. c/tr~c.sc/), releasing quantities of seed that reestablish the overstory, while the understory regenerates by sproutin, (1 or from soil-stored se...
متن کاملInfluence of Pre-Fire Tree Mortality on Fire Severity in Conifer Forests of the San Bernardino Mountains, California
High tree mortality due to drought and insects often is assumed to increase fire severity once ignition occurs. In 2002-2003, coniferous forests in the San Bernardino Mountains, California experienced a significant tree mortality event due to drought and an outbreak of western pine beetles (Dendroctonus brevicomis). In October 2003, fire burned approximately 5,860 ha of conifer forest types in ...
