Mass fire behavior created by extensive tree mortality and high tree density not predicted by operational fire behavior models in the southern Sierra Nevada

Scott L. Stephens et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the behavior and patterns of the 2020 Creek Fire and found that dead biomass and live tree densities were key factors in predicting fire severity. The research highlights the vulnerability of frequent-fire forest conditions to large-scale fires, with past management decisions and drought and bark beetles being critical factors in driving the mass fire.
