Ecology and evolution of pine life histories (2012, background): “Thick bark enhances tree survival by protecting sensitive cambial tissue from heat shock (van Mantgem and Schwartz 2003; Bova and Dickinson 2005).”
Tree mortality patterns following prescribed fires in a mixed conifer forest (2006, background): “Role of fire intensity in predicting tree mortality Attempts to relate fire intensity to stem necrosis in two eastern deciduous species proved unsatisfactory, but outpredicted flame-residence time alone when the two measures were combined (Bova and Dickinson 2005).”
Fire and tree death: understanding and improving modeling of fire-induced tree mortality (2018, background): “Thick bark serves to protect the underlying vascular cambium and epicormic buds from fire and is the primary bark trait influencing heat transfer to the cambium (Bova and Dickinson 2005), though species have developed other adaptations that increase resistance to Figure 1.”
Changes in stand structure and tree vigor with repeated prescribed fire in an Appalachian hardwood forest (2015, background): “The relationship between char height and decline in crown dieback class was stronger for maples than for oaks, likely because oaks typically have thicker bark than maples (Bova and Dickinson, 2005; Hengst and Dawson, 1994), and bark thickness is a strong factor in determining the impacts of fire int”
