From Research Summary: This report summarizes available information on the fire as an ecological factor for forest habitat types in western Montana. The forest habitat types are assigned to Fire Groups based primarily on fire's role in forest succession. For each Fire Group, information is presented on (1) the relationships of major tree species to fire, (2) fire effects on undergrowth, (3) forest fuels, (4) the natural role of fire, (5) fire and forest succession, and (6) fire management considerations. The report includes charts, photos and tables.
