註釋

Fire intensity within forest fires varies as weather and site conditions change, leaving live forest patches, and individual trees, as well as dead structure as standing trees and downed stems. Such remnant structure from pre-burn forests are collectively known as post-fire residuals. This review of the literature is focused on establishing the state of knowledge on post-fire residuals as relevant to directions in Ontario's Forest management guide for natural disturbance pattern emulation (NDPE). It covers information reported for boreal North America, captured from reports that are published and universally accessible. The report includes a description of the methodological steps followed in searching, reviewing, and synthesizing literature; definitions and descriptions of post-fire residuals; abundance and variability of specific types of post-fire residual structure; and associations of post-fire residual structure with forest cover, site conditions, and fire behaviour. It also identifies knowledge gaps and uncertainties about aspects of post-fire residual structure that are relevant to the NDPE guide directions.--Includes text from document.
