Table 3 Dominant pre-fire conifer species observed, number of plots these species were detected and the number of plots seedlings were observed. Percentage represents proportion of plots that had a species pre-fire where they were also observed post-fire, and the mean density of seedlings by species on those sites where at least one seedling as observed (sites with no regeneration of that species are excluded)
Species | Observed overstory presence (# of plots) | Seedling presence (# of plots) | Percentage of plots with species pre-fire where seedlings were present post-fire | Mean density for sites with seedlings (trees ha−1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Lodgepole pine | 10 | 9 | 90% | 6718 |
Douglas-fir | 21 | 9 | 43% | 44 |
White fir | 27 | 4 | 15% | 122 |
Limber pine | 9 | 1 | 11% | 12 |
Ponderosa pine | 22 | 0 | 0% | 0 |
All species | 31 | 19 | 61% | 3230 |
