Foxx TS, Hansen LA, Rebecca O, Haffey C, Beeley K. 2013. The La Mesa Fire: Studies and Observations from 1975 through 2012. LA-UR-13-24499. Los Alamos, NM
This study is about the history before and after the La Mesa Fire—at the time, the first large wildfire on the Pajarito Plateau in over 80 years. It represents 37 years of research and observations that began when management of fire on the Pajarito Plateau was first being explored by BNM. It documents changes in vegetation composition since June 1977 and shows the progression of change in understanding fire’s essential place in the ecosystems of the Pajarito Plateau.
