Post-Fire Succession in an Old-Growth Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) Forest
FireIn 2020, a high-intensity wildfire burned over 35,000 ha in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, including over 1700 ha of old-growth coast redwood forest. This event created a unique opportunity to evaluate post-fire succession.
