Figure 3

Ring area profiles for ten climbed trees in two locations with respect to three fires (1985 and 1999 at Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve, 2008 at Montgomery Woods State Natural Reserve). Cumulative ring areas indicated by colors are directly proportional to trunk wood volume increments over 11 years, centered on fire year. Blue arrows show observed heights of tree-ring indicators (i.e., intra-annual density fluctuations, faint latewood, resin) during fire year. Tree name on lower right, only crossdated trees included.
