Reintroducing fire into a ponderosa pine forest with and without cattle grazing: understory vegetation response
- Environmental Science
- 2011
It is shown that the understory release from a long history of cattle grazing caused a greater degree of change than the initial reintroduction of fire, which could provide critically important options in restoration plans.

On the formation of dense understory layers in forests worldwide: consequences and implications for forest dynamics, biodiversity, and succession
- Environmental Science
- 2006
A model linking the factors predisposing the formation of recalcitrant understory layers with their interference mechanisms and subsequent impacts on succession is presented and it is proposed that their presence constricts floristic diversity and ar- gue for their explicit inclusion in forest dynamics theory and models.

Season of burning has little influence on survival and performance of extant plants, but fall burning can increase population size in Iliamna by stimulating germination of buried seed, and for Trifolium, frequent or more intense fire may be needed to reduce competition and maintain conditions for population persistence.

Tree-growth and understory responses to low-severity prescribed burning in thinned Pinus ponderosa forests of Central Oregon

The results indicate that low-severity prescribed burning has a relatively minor impact on tree-growth and understory response in thinned ponderosa pine stands.
RESPONSE OF UNDERSTORY SPECIES TO CHANGES IN PONDEROSA PINE STOCKING LEVELS IN THE BLACK HILLS
- Biology
- 1998
Although the total number of species declined as pine basal area increased, a few species, such as Linnaea borealis (twinflower) and Shepherdia canadensis (buffaloberry), were found only under relatively dense pine canopies, while floristic species richness was greater at lower stocking levels of ponderosa pine, the totalnumber of species would be greater if all stocking levels were present.
Thinning and burning result in low-level invasion by nonnative plants but neutral effects on natives.

The effects of thinning and prescribed fire on plant composition and diversity in Pinus ponderosa forests of eastern Washington are examined and suggest that their abundance is limited and relatively stable on most sites.
