Figure 4

Age distributions for representative chaparral study sites in southwest Oregon, USA, in 2007, showing even-aged stands (all sample ages within 40 yr of each other; a). Nearly all sites unburned for >30 yr were uneven-aged due to (b) shrubs that recruited in the absence of fire (>20 yr younger than last known fire), (c) shrubs that survived the last known fire (>20 yr older than last known fire), or (d) both. Arrows indicate year of last known fire.
