This paper discusses multiple scales of ice accumulation and forest disturbance resulting from the 1994 storms in southwestern Virginia. The AA. first examine synoptic-scale meteorology of the two 1994 storms. Second, they discuss topographic

The AA. investigated Table Mountain pine stands growing on dry, west facing slopes in southwestern Virginia. In stands the AA. sampled most Table Mountain pines belonged to a cohort that originated in the early 1900s, probably following a severe

The AA. investigate spatial variations in the incidence of anthropogenic and natural (lightning-ignited) fire in the central Appalachian Mountains of Virginia and West Virginia using a record of wildland fires that occurred on federal lands between

This paper uses records of wildland fire to investigate the contemporary fire regime on federal lands in the central Appalachian Mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. During the study period (1970-2003), 1557 anthropogenic fires and 344 natural
