Abstract

Please note: The information in Research Note INT-287 is obsolete. The latest information developed by Station scientists on this topic is contained in: Reinhardt, Elizabeth D.; Ryan, Kevin C. 1988. How to estimate tree mortality resulting from underburning. Fire Management Notes. 49(4): 30-36.A dichotomous event regression model is used to estimate survival of fire-injured interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca) 1 year after burning. A preliminary salvage marking guide is presented based upon stem diameter at breast height and crown scorch height.
