Selected Fire References Related to the Sierra Nevada--Single Page Complete

References are categorized by "General Literature/Information", "Technical & Scientific Literature" and "Historic & Background Literature". Bibliographic material concentrates on Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and the southern Sierra Nevada but also includes other fire related references that may be of general interest. Papers are listed by date within each section. (Updated: 29-Mar-2006)

Abstracts or the complete text for some of the references are available for download. Full documents are usually in Acrobat PDF file format (size will be indicated next to link) and will require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view (free from Adobe). Many of the articles listed below were written and prepared by U.S. Government employees on official time, and are therefore in the public domain. Additionally, many of the on-line publications are scanned and captured using Adobe Acrobat. During the capture process some typographical errors may have occurred. If you encounter any that make a publication unuseable please contact Tony Caprio - Division of Natural Resources.

He also recognized changes in fire regimes as EuroAmerican settlement occurred with decreasing fire frequency leading to greater fuel accumulation that resulted in hotter fires.)
