Thank you!

Don’t you think those fire regimes would be better described as “opportunistic crown fire”, “occasional crown fire”, “mostly understory”, etc. instead of just “mixed severity”? Feels like we can do better.

[2] All ages of Doug-fir foliage are more heat sensitive in spring, but fully mature ponderosa pine foliage is not. Prescribed fire aimed at controlling Doug-fir and maintaining ponderosa pine may have better outcomes from spring burns after bud-break than autumn, given similar burning conditions.

[1] Doug-fir foliage is generally more heat sensitive than ponderosa pine foliage. New, expanding foliage is more heat sensitive than 1 yo foliage. Once foliage is fully expanded, it no longer shows elevated heat sensitivity.

Nice! There's even an R package for that 🤓

No I hadn't! Thanks!

The idea is to get a sense for how north- and south-facing slopes differ in terms of vegetation structure, but I expect the differences to be driven by radiation and evaporation (and therefore aridity index), so either would be great
