Figure 2

The successional pathway diagram for PVG 7 (warm-dry sub-alpine fir) showing possible transitions due to succession and fire among 12 successional states. Deterministic succession transitions are shown as black lines; transitions resulting from stochastic non-lethal and stand-replacing fires are shown in orange and red, respectively. Each state is defined by one of five tree size classes (see Tables 1 and 3) and one of four canopy closure classes: open (<10 %), low (10 % to 39 %), moderate (40 % to 69 %), and high (>69 %).
