Post-fire Shifts in Bishop Pine Distribution: Research Brief

Vegetation  mosaics  in  coastal  California are  dynamic.  Post-­‐fire  shifts  in  plant   community  distributions  can  be  explained   by  considering  the  dominant  species’  life   history  characteristics,  dispersal  ability,   fire  severity,  land  use  history, and  site   characteristics.
