We evaluate direct wildfire impacts on 1) tree mortality, fuel consumption and stored carbon, and 2) post-fire forest regeneration, understory vegetation recovery, and fuel and carbon dynamics following a high severity wildfire at Boggs Mountain Demonstration Forest (BMDF).

Learning Objectives:

Understand the effects of various post-fire forest management strategies on carbon-storage, fire hazard, and other ecological variables.
Understand nuances in post-fire forest management at Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest.
