Table 1 Summary statistics of burned and unburned forest monitoring plots. Average values (±1 standard deviation) are presented for plot elevation, stand density, stand basal area, and quadratic mean stem diameter (QMD). Note that slope measurements were missing for one burned plot and for five unburned plots. Live and dead tree summary statistics in 2014, with species composition presented in terms of proportional basal area.
