Description :
This paper describes the fire history of the Battell Research Forest (BRF), in Vermont, recorded by the age distributions of living and dead trees and by fire scars. The results illustrate a fire cycle that has controlled the recruitment and mortality of most pine and probably most hemlock trees in this forest over the past 500 yr.
