What is Rapid Fuel Recovery After Stand-replacing Fire in Closed-cone Pine Forests and Implications for Short-interval Severe Reburns about?
Accelerating disturbance activity under a warming climate increases the potential for multiple disturbances to overlap and produce compound effects that erode ecosystem resiliencethe capacity to experience disturbance without transitioning to an alternative state. A key concern is the potential for amplifying or attenuating feedbacks via interactions among successive, linked disturbance events. Following severe wildfires, fuel limitation is a negative feedback that may reduce the likelihood of subsequent fire. However, the duration of, and pre-fire vegetation effects on fuel limitation remain uncertain. To address this knowledge gap, we characterized fuel profiles over a 35-year post-fire chronosequence in California closed-cone pine forests, a system with stand dynamics comparable to stand-replacing fire regimes in other temperate and boreal conifer forests with much longer fire return intervals. We used this system to ask: 1) How do fuel profiles change with time since recent stand-replacing fire? 2) How do trajectories of fuel profiles differ between forests established from different prefire vegetation legaciesspecifically areas that were forest vs. non-forest pre-fire?
