Title:

Data for: Sparse subalpine forest recovery pathways, plant communities, and carbon stocks 34 years after stand-replacing fire (Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Wyoming, USA; 2022)

Abstract:

We assessed postfire forest recovery pathways, stem densities, understory plant communities, and carbon stocks across 55 plots in areas exhibiting sparse and reduced forest recovery 34 years after the 1988 Yellowstone Fires in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Wyoming, USA. Recovery pathways were identified using plot-level frequency distributions of tree ages and correlated with potentially important biotic and abiotic variables (e.g., elevation, seed source distance). Species- and age-specific stem densities were similarly regressed across environmental factors to determine variability in forest recovery across the sampled landscape. Understory plant communities were sampled in 0.25m-square quadrats and environmental drivers of individual species occurrence and whole compositional shifts were determined. Finally, carbon stock sizes were derived from field measures of tree characteristics, understory cover, and soil combined with regionally derived allometric equations. Data collection is complete and is part of a forthcoming manuscript at Ecological Monographs.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

Data were collected across 55 plots in areas previously identified as exhibiting sparse and reduced forest recovery three decades after the 1988 Yellowstone Fires in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Wyoming, USA (Kiel and Turner, 2022). Plots were selected to span a gradient of elevation and distance to nearest unburned forest (as putative seed source).

Abiotic and seed dispersal characteristics were collected from plot center. Four 30cm-deep soil cores were collected from throughout the plot and aggregated in the field. Plots measured 30m by 30m. Three parallel transects oriented due north were laid along which tree densities and understory communities were sampled. Trees (>1.37m tall) were tallied along each transect in 4-m-wide belts, and the basal diameter (cm), diameter at breast height (cm), height (m), number of whorls (as a proxy for tree age), and the presence of cones were collected from each tree. Seedlings and saplings (<1.37m tall) were tallied along each transect in 2-m-wide belts. Basal diameter, height, and whorl counts were collected from the nearest seedling or sapling at every 3-m interval. Understory (non-tree, vascular) plant species cover was estimated ocularly in 15, 0.25m-square quadrats distributed systematically along each transect and whole plot richness estimated using a final plot sweep.

Regionally derived allometric equations were used to calculate aboveground biomass and carbon stored in trees and understory vegetation. Percent C in soil for each plot was quantified using a Thermo Flash EA 1112 analyzer, multiplied by a standard bulk density for the region, and scaled to the hectare. More detailed methods are outlined in the forthcoming Kiel, Mavencamp, and Turner publication at Ecological Monographs (expected publication: 2024).

Abstract:

Global climate and wildfire regimes are changing. Forests adapted to infrequent, severe wildfire are burning more frequently and, in places, more severely, raising concern over their capacity to remain resilient and recover to forest following fire. We studied areas currently exhibiting sparse to non-existent postfire forest recovery as "windows into the future" of currently forested landscapes to understand the implications of postfire forest conversion for whole plant communities, carbon stocks, and the potential for forest recovery. We focused on those areas previously identified as exhibiting sparse (relative to recovering forests) and reduced (relative to pre-fire stem densities) forest recovery 34 years after the 1988 Yellowstone Fires.
