OOS 37 - Mixed Severity Fire Regime As a Guiding
Concept for Forest Management: Variability In Space
and Time, Restoration, and Future Challenges
A107, Oregon Convention Center
Organized by: RT Belote (travis_belote@tws.org), CA Cansler, M
Crist
Moderator: GH Aplet
The OOS showcases new research on the ecology and restoration
challenges associated with forests historically characterized by
mixed severity fire regimes, which are extensive in the western U.S.
This session highlights agency, academic, and NGO ecologists
working throughout western North America in diverse ecosystems
and across spatial scales.
