Inventory analysis of fire effects wrought by wind-driven megafires in relation to weather and pre-fire forest structure in the western Cascades

Fire Ecology

Table 3 Estimated means and standard errors (SE) of the carbon density (stocks per unit area) in 1) live trees, pre-fire, 2) live trees, post-fire, 3) fire-killed trees, immediately post-fire, and 4) the subset of fire-killed trees that were harvested via salvage logging within 1-year post-fire, by ownership and stand age class
