| Abstract | The objectives of this thesis were to i) characterize lodgepole pine regeneration and related micro-site conditions associated with wildfire, and ii) identify limitations for germination, survival and recruitment of natural and artificial regeneration in relation to site moisture, fire severity, and vegetative competition. The germination, survival and recruitment of lodgepole pine seedlings over two growing seasons were compared on 18 disturbance plots (replicated three times) on several treatments including three fire severity classes (high, moderate, low), two moisture regimes (dry and wet), two seed provenances (wild and improved), and two seedbed types (disturbed and undisturbed). Results showed that natural regeneration was highest on wet sites and seedling density increased with declining fire severity. On dry sites, new germinants were rare and limited by micro-site conditions associated with high and moderate fire severity with highest germination rates experienced on low fire severity. Seed provenance did not influence germination and survival rates. |
