Fire Ecology Paper
For Quercus suber create your own version of what its record would look like if it was included in the Fire Effects Information System database:
https://www.feis-crs.org/feis/Links to an external site.
Your record should include the following sections:
Disturbance and Occurrence (20 points): A description of where this species can be found and common associated plants and animals. Descriptions should include elevation, topography, and site conditions.
Botanical and Ecological Characteristics (40 points): A description of the general morphological traits, and physiological properties associated with this plant.
Fire Ecology (60 points): A description of fire adaptations and fire regimes associated with this species.
Fire Effects (40 points): A description of the observed post-fire effects associated with this species such as survival, direct and delayed mortality, reestablishment, etc.
Management Considerations (20 points): A description of management considerations associated with this species.
References (20 points): A list of references – please limit websites to <25% of total references.
The expectation is that this report should be 8-10 pages in length of single-spaced (11-12 pt font). This number of pages should include pictures and graphics. Please make sure that these pictures and graphics are smaller than 50% of a page.
Take a look at these examples as a general idea of what these reports look like:
