Click on the links to the right for further information about various research conducted since the 2003 fires.
The following papers are also available:
- Scientific articles in 2005 by Keeley and his team, on recovery after 1993 wildfires, posted on his website, http://www.werc.usgs.gov/seki/keeley.asp. Four articles describe species distribution/composition after the '93 wildfires in southern California, likely similar to recovery after the Cedar/Paradise fires; all four are peer-reviewed.
- Species composition in fuelbreaks. Merriam, K.E., J.E. Keeley, and J.L. Beyers. 2006. Fuel breaks affect nonnative species abundance in California plant communities. Ecological Applications 16:515-527. Available at: http://www.werc.usgs.gov/seki/pdfs/K2006_Merriam_Fuelbreaks_EA.pdf
