During the winter of 1977-78, landowners in the lower 

 portion of the burn conducted salvage logging to remove 

 dead trees. Such logged areas were avoided for study 

 purposes in order to prevent confusing fire effects with 

 effects of tree removal and mechanical scarification. The 

 "study area" then is limited to the burned area in sec- 

 tions 10 and 11 (fig. 3).
