Probability Models to Predict Douglas-fir Seed Tree Mortality After Prescribed Burning Item Info

Two models for estimating interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca) tree mortality as a direct result of prescribed understory fire are presented. Three stands located in northern Idaho comprised the study area and, of the variables examined, tree height and percent crown scorch were the best predictors of mortality. The models can be used in conjunction with existing fire behavior models and burning guidelines to aid managers in making site preparation decisions.
