TL;DR: Analysis of longitudinal data from unmanaged old forests in the western United States showed that background (noncatastrophic) mortality rates have increased rapidly in recent decades, with doubling periods ranging from 17 to 29 years among regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining reference conditions for ecosystem management of southwestern ponderosa pine forests
TL;DR: In this article, the fire disturbance regime and forest structure prior to Euro-American settlement (AD 1883) of a southwestern ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) landscape were quantified in order to establish reference conditions as a baseline for ecosystem management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoring Ecosystem Health in Ponderosa Pine Forests of the Southwest
Journal ArticleDOI
Reference conditions and ecological restoration: a southwestern ponderosa pine perspective
TL;DR: Testing of restoration treatments at four sites in northern Arizona, USA, has shown promise, but the diverse context of management goals and constraints for Southwestern forest ecosystems means that appropriate applica- tions of restoration techniques will probably differ in various settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of burn severity assessments using Differenced Normalized Burn Ratio and ground data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery and the Differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (� NBR) to map the Leroux fire into four severity levels immediately following the fire and 1 year after the fire.
