Snag-fall patterns following stand-replacing fire vary with stem characteristics and topography in subalpine forests of Greater Yellowstone

Abstract:

We assessed the stem- and landscape-level drivers of snag persistence and snag-fall mode within the area burned as stand-replacing fire in the 1988 Yellowstone Fires in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. Snags were sampled 14-15 years postfire (n = 131) and again in a separate set of plots 34 years postfire (n = 55). Stem characteristics such as species identity (e.g., lodgepole pine, whitebark pine, Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and Douglas-fir), diameter at breast height, whether the tree was alive or dead at the time of fire, and the mode of snag-fall (snapping or uprooting) were measured and used to explain patterns of snag persistence and modes of snag-fall. In addition, plot-level environmental variables (e.g., slope, aspect, elevation, stand density) were measured and related to the proportion of stems still standing as snags at 14-15 and 34 years postfire. Data collection is complete and is part of a forthcoming manuscript in revision at Forest Ecology and Management.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Sites sampled in 2002-03 were selected using a stratified random sampling design based on aspect and slope. We created a 4x3 factorial design using the four cardinal aspects – north (325º-45º), east (45º-135º), south (135º-225º), and west (225º-325º) – and three grades of slope – gentle (0-5º), moderate (6-15º), and steep (>15º). The broad, gentle plateaus of YNP mean that much of the landscape burned as stand-replacing fire in 1988 was not very steep, so steeper slope categories would have been underrepresented in our study design. Thirty-meter digital elevation models (DEMs) were used to create these aspect and slope layers, which were clipped to the 1988 burned area using fire perimeter maps. Sampling sites (n = 131) were then randomly selected from each factorial category while spanning the elevational gradient within the 1988 fires. Data layers were obtained from the National Park Service Spatial Analysis Center (https://public-nps.opendata.arcgis.com) and processed in ArcGIS.

Plots sampled in 2022 (n = 55) were stratified by elevation (above and below 2500 m) and distance to seed source (<90 m and >120 m), and were separated by at least 250 m to reduce spatial auto-correlation. Among plots, slope did not exceed 20º and aspect varied. All sampled stands across all years burned at high severity in 1988 with 100% tree mortality.

In 2002-03, three 4x50 m belt transects were established 25 m apart within each plot. All dead trees >7.5 cm diameter at breast height (DBH) and currently rooted or determined to have been rooted at the time of the 1988 fires were tallied within each belt transect. Downed wood that had fallen prior to the fires was not measured for this study; such wood was recognizable from advanced decay stages or charcoal on stumps or tipped-up roots. For each stem in each transect, we recorded species identity, DBH, whether it was standing or fallen, and – for fallen stems –whether it was broken along the stem or uprooted. We measured slope and aspect in the field and recorded the geographic coordinates (northing and easting in Universal Transverse Mercator) of the midpoint of each middle transect using a global positioning system. Elevation was determined subsequently from a digital elevation model (DEM).

In 2022, the abundance of snags 34 years after the 1988 fires was tallied from four photos taken in cardinal directions from the center of each 30x30 m plot (n = 55). Each snag was classified as either dead or alive at the time of the fire based on presence of charring on the stem, but species identity and DBH could not be determined. Only snags within the 30x30 m plot were included, and the location of each snag inside or outside of the plot was verified with Google Earth imagery. To determine the proportion of all stems killed in 1988 still standing at 34 years postfire, the number of fallen stems was counted in each plot using Google Earth imagery. Charring could not be determined reliably for fallen stems using Google Earth imagery, so identification as alive or dead at the time of fire was only done for standing snags. Despite high-quality imagery, our method may underestimate the number of fallen stems 34 years after the 1988 fires.
