Table 1 Location, elevation range, dominant tree species, and fire characteristics of the 14 sampled fires, seven of which were short-interval reburns. Three of the sample locations contained plots in areas that had been previously burned by two different fires. Dominant tree species reflect rank order of species containing the highest percent basal area across each fire, with the minimum threshold set at 20%
