An assessment of tree, snag and downed wood residuals in boreal fires in relation to Ontario's policy directions for emulating natural forest disturbance

The objectives of this study were to characterize the abundance and variability in residual stand structure within unsuppressed boreal forest fire events to understand the extent of post-fire residual structure (residual trees, residual snags, and downed wood), its within- and among-fire variability, as well as how it changes during the first few years following the fire. Specifically, the report examines unsuppressed fires in boreal Ontario in order to describe the extent and variability of the residual structure that results from forest fires, and to document the immediate post-fire changes that occur in residual structure.
