Fire history and pattern in a Cascade Range landscape (1990)

Morrison, Peter H., Swanson, Frederick J.

Fire history from years 1150 to 1985 was reconstructed by analyzing forest stands in two 1940-hectare areas in the central-western Cascade Range of Oregon. Serving as records for major fire episodes,...
