Nearly a century of wildland fire suppression coupled with past land‐use practices (primarily timber harvesting and agriculture) has altered plant community succession and has resulted in dramatic shifts in the fire regimes and species composition. As a result, some forests in Latah County have become more susceptible to large‐scale, high‐intensity fires posing a threat to life, property, and natural resources including wildlife and plant populations. Highintensity, stand‐replacing fires have the potential to seriously damage soils, native vegetation, and fish and 18 U.S. Census Bureau. 2000. American Fact Finder.
