“…We used a chronosequence approach, one in which space replaces time, to assess the role of management duration. Such approach has been widely used to assess changes through time in vegetation (Lebrija-Trejos et al, 2008), soil properties (Osland et al, 2012), or management legacies (Kashian et al, 2012), despite its well-known limitations (Chazdon et al, 2007). Plots were chosen to reduce as much as possible the variance in biophysical conditions among them, while maximizing the variance in management.…”

“…For instance, Spaulding and Rothstein () showed that snag density resulting from wildfire produced approximately 100× the density of snags found in young plantations. Kashian et al () mapped and quantified linear strips of biological legacies resulting from larger (>1,000 ha) wildfires in jack pine and followed their existence over time on the landscape and noted how they are often lost due to salvage logging following fire and before plantations are established. Follow‐up studies illustrated the value of these “stringers” for bird species not represented in the adjacent plantations (Cullinane‐Anthony et al ).…”

“…It is well‐established that fire suppression is largely responsible for the conservation status of the Kirtland's warbler. With the population now well above recovery thresholds, forest patterns based on natural models of fire‐generated habitat are beginning to work their way into planning documents and management practices (Corace and Goebel ; Kashian et al , ; MDNR ; Fig. ).…”

Biodiversity challenges require more ecologically based approaches to habitat management of forest wildlife. Although active management is necessary for the conservation of many forest-dependent wildlife species, some high-severity (even-aged) forest management practices could be improved upon with greater consideration of natural disturbance models. Using examples of 3 migratory bird species of conservation priority and for which high-severity forest management practices are conducted in the northern Lake States (Kirtland's warbler [Setophaga kirtlandii], golden-winged warbler [Vermivora chrysoptera], American woodcock [Scolopax minor]), I first summarize lessons learned and then illustrates how a more ecological approach to forest-bird habitat planning and management might work. Published 2018. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA.

“…Individual researchers have identified wildfire locations that allow chronosequence studies of wildfire-regenerated jack pine sites in northern lower Michigan [5,[66][67][68], or have used a time series of aerial imagery and photographs to map fire extent and pattern at known locations [109]. A spatially explicit database of fires in the Lake States between 1985 and 1995 has been developed based on state (Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan Departments of Natural Resources) and federal (USDA Forest Service) agency records of fire origin [15], although these authors did not use individual fire perimeters.…”

Fire-adapted forests of the Lake States region are poorly studied relative to those of the western and southeastern United States and our knowledge base of regional short-and long-term fire effects on soils is limited. We compiled and assessed the body of literature addressing fire effects on soils in Lake States forests to facilitate the re-measurement of previous studies for the development of new long-term datasets, and to identify existing gaps in the regional knowledge of fire effects on forest soils. Most studies reviewed addressed fire effects on chemical properties in pine-dominated forests, and long-term (>10 years) studies were limited. The major gaps in knowledge we identified include: (1) information on fire temperature and behavior information that would enhance OPEN ACCESSForests 2012, 3 1035 interpretation of fire effects; (2) underrepresentation of the variety of forest types in the Lake States region; (3) information on nutrient fluxes and ecosystem processes; and (4) fire effects on soil organisms. Resolving these knowledge gaps via future research will provide for a more comprehensive understanding of fire effects in Lake States forest soils. Advancing the understanding of fire effects on soil processes and patterns in Lake States forests is critical for designing regionally appropriate long-term forest planning and management activities.
