Description of Area and Techniques
Four 50 x 50 m (1/4 ha) plots were established: one logged and
one unlogged plot in ponderosa pine-white fir and sugar pine-white fir
community types. Forest structure was quantified on each plot, and then
each plot was burned. Forest structure was measured on each plot. This
approach allowed quantification of the effects of (a) fire suppression,
(b) logging (in the 1930's), and (c) the immediate effects of one prescribed
fire.
