Table 1 Study site descriptions of eight fires that burned with high severity in ponderosa pine forests in the US Southwest (1996 to 2006). Field data were collected in 2013. High-severity area was determined from RdNBR values ≥640. Percent indicates the percent of the total fire area that burned at high severity. Plots with regen = total number of plots for which post-fire ponderosa pine regeneration >15 cm tall was recorded, n = 43. Total number of plots = 175. The Pumpkin, Horseshoe, and Hochderffer fires were analyzed together as all occurred in the same area outside of Flagstaff, Arizona. Similarly, the BS and Bear fires were analyzed together as the occurred adjacent to each other in the Gila National Forest.
