Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of an intense wildfire in a Mexican oak-pine forest.
TL;DR: Although short-term fire effects indicate that the forest ecosystem has moved closer toward a savanna condition, remnant seed trees and sprouting trees are expected to maintain forest cover and future herbaceous production is likely to increase in response to overstory mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diameter caps for thinning southwestern ponderosa pine forests: Viewpoints, effects, and tradeoffs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize viewpoints on caps, simulate effects of caps on thinning prescriptions, and provide examples of ecosystem-level tradeoffs of leaving extra trees during thinning projects.
Journal Article
Plant community variability in ponderosa pine forest has implications for reference conditions
TL;DR: Fule et al. as mentioned in this paper compared three stands in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona: one stand had 120 years of artificial fire exclusion (NOBURN) and the other two nearby stands had been frequently burned (BURN-E and BURN-W).
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetation-environment relationships and ecological species groups of an Arizona Pinus ponderosa landscape, USA
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured topography, soils, and vegetation on 66, 0.05-ha plots within a 110,000-ha P. ponderosa landscape in northern Arizona, USA, to discern vegetation-environment relationships on this landscape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Future climate affects management strategies for maintaining forest restoration treatments.
TL;DR: This paper applied the Forest Vegetation Simulator (1) in its standard form, and (2) with modificationsofreducedtreegrowthandincreased mortalitytosimulatetheeffectsof two levels of climate change.
