Highly episodic fire and erosion regime over the past 2,000 y in the Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon

Colombaroli, D; Gavin, DG


A prescribed fire in a Pinus ponderosa stand in East Oregon, October 2007. Controlled burns are here used to prevent fuel accumulation and to reduce fire hazard


A sediment core from Upper Squaw Lake, South Oregon, is used in this study to reconstruct the variability of fire and erosion during the last 2000 years


After logging started in the 1950s, erosion in the area greatly increased, compared with that following the most severe fire in the past
