Trees have similar growth responses to first-entry fires and reburns following long-term fire exclusion

This study explores how ponderosa pine trees respond to repeated low-severity wildfires after decades of fire exclusion in dry conifer forests. By comparing tree-ring growth between burned and unburned trees, the research investigates whether tree growth reactions differ between first-entry fires and subsequent reburns, offering insight into the ecological tradeoffs of managing fire for resource benefit
