    For most of the 20th century active fire exclusion was the rule in the American southwest. Previous to suppression policies, ponderosa pine and dry mixed-conifer forests experienced a frequent, low- to mixed-severity fire regime (Agee 1996, Allen et al. 2002). As a result of a century of fire suppression, successional trajectories have been significantly altered, in that ponderosa pine and dry mixed-conifer forests have become increasingly dense with late successional, non-fire-adapted trees and
