Jack pine forests face struggle to regenerate after extreme fires .: Fo133-2/2015-2E-PDF
“Jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) is a species that is well adapted to fire. It regenerates well even after severe fires. The 2011 Richardson fire in northern Alberta was a mega-fire that burned 576,000 ha of boreal forest dominated by jack pine. Immediately after the Richardson fire, researchers with the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) studied the effect of fire severity and stand characteristics on jack pine regeneration in the boreal forest of Alberta. Their goals were to determine how jack pine regeneration density was influenced by fire severity and stand age within individual stands; they also wanted to quantify, at the landscape level, the patterns of jack pine regeneration after fire"--p.
