Modeling How Fire Frequency Alters Species Composition: Research Brief

Janet  Franklin  and  colleagues  used  LANDIS,  a   landscape  disturbance  and  succession  model  to   investigate  how  short,  moderate  and  long  fire   return  intervals  (FRI's)  in  southern  California   affect  persistence  of  different  shrub life  histories.
