- •
We examined conifer regeneration in burned ponderosa pine forests of Colorado.
- •
Regeneration in high severity burned areas was low relative to areas that burned less severely.
- •
Regeneration declined as distance from surviving forest increased.
- •
Regeneration also declined as elevation decreased.
- •
Forests may not be resilient to high severity fire, particularly where surviving forest is not in close proximity.
