This report surveys the effects of the fire on the biota over a period after the fire. The paper ends with:
“So, the Nadgee fire which we have been observing will provide a story unique to itself— it has been the result of a very mild, very dry (in a total sense) and yet humid year immediately following the holocaust.
If any of these factors had varied, so would the story of the effect on Nadgee. We are thus presented with a major problem in predicting the individual effects of fire on natural communities and their
components. The effect of fire on particular components of a community is perhaps the most difficult problem in prediction.”
