Long-term effects of fuel treatments, overstory structure, and wildfire on tree regeneration in dry forests of Central Washington
Year: 2020
The long-term effectiveness of dry-forest fuels treatments (restoration thinning and prescribed burning) depends, in part, on the pace at which trees regenerate and recruit into the overstory. Knowledge of the factors that shape post-treatment regeneration and growth is limited by the short timeframes and simple disturbance histories of past research. Here, we present results of a 15-year fuels-reduction experiment in central Washington, including responses to planned and unplanned disturbances.We explore the changing patterns of Douglas-fir regeneration in72 permanent plots (0.1 ha) varying…
