| Abstract | This report documents research completed by investigators at the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research with support from the Sierra Nevada Global Change research program for the period 1991 to 1997. The body of this report is prepared as a draft manuscript intended for revision and submission to a peer reviewed journal (probably Ecology or Ecological Monographs). This paper describes the completed work on the reconstruction of fire histories along transects in the Sierra Nevada, an evaluation of fire regime patterns related to elevation, and an investigation of interannual climate-fire patterns. Appendices list and illustrate additional details of the fire history data, and ongoing research using these data. A computer disk with all of the related data files is also delivered with this report. Since this report is considered a draft and is subject to revision following comments from reviewers and additional work by the authors, we ask that it not be distributed beyond the National Parks (Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite). |
