Several factors make the 1988 fires particularly important for wildland ecological study. In particular, the scale and heterogeneity of these fires provide unprecedented opportunities to address a variety of landscape-level questions. Furthermore, the history of research and accumulated long-term data on various components of GYA terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems will facilitate meaningful pre- and post-fire comparisons.
