About this title

Synopsis:

Fire in Sierra Nevada Forests examines the woodlands through repeat photography: rephotographing sites depicted in historical photographs to compare past vegetation to present.

About the Author:

George E. Gruell, a wildlife biologist for five decades, has worked in the forests and rangelands of Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, and California. In his pioneering work in repeat photography, Gruell has retaken over four hundred early landscape photographs in the northern Rockies, the Great Basin, and the Sierra Nevada. He has authored and coauthored more than two dozen professional papers and publications on vegetation succession, wildlife habitat condition and trend, fire history, and fire ecology.
