In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Tegan Brown, postdoctoral research fellow at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory of the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station. Tegan shares results from research conducted in Lubrecht Experimental Forest in Montana, USA that explored the drivers of seasonal fluctuations in live fuel moisture content in a herbaceous groundcover plant, an understory shrub, and an overstory tree species.
