AGAnne GnilkeJLJakob LiesegangTSTanja G. M. Sanders

Key Points

  • To analyze how fire damage differs between pure pine stands and those with broadleaf trees.
  • Compared fire damage severity in pure pine forests vs. mixed stands with broadleaf trees.
  • Measured scorch marks and vitality loss in different tree species.
  • Categorized tree species including pines and red oak.
  • Pine trees had the most scorch marks and severe loss of vitality.
  • Fire damage severity decreased with increasing proportions of hardwoods.
  • Red oak showed the lowest scorch heights compared to pines.

Abstract

• Pure pine compared to stands with at least one broadleaf tree species showed significant differences in the severity of fire damage • The severity of fire damage decreases as the proportion of hardwoods increases • Clear differences between tree species: pines show the highest scorch marks and the most severe loss of vitality, whereas red oak show the lowest scorch heights
