Presents findings of the Terra Nova National Park fire history study, along with an attempt to describe the park's fire regime and the impact of that regime on park vegetation. Study methods included field sampling of plots located in a random manner designed to fill in gaps between age data previously collected in the park. Areas sampled were predominantly black spruce cover types. Site attribute data collected within each plot included crown closure, percent cover, total tree height, tree diameter at breast height, percent mortality, and age of dominant tree species. Field data analysis focused on forest age. In addition, historical fire records were searched and information on past fire occurrence, size, cause, and dates were used to estimate the fire regime for the area. Factors contributing to fire are discussed, including the relationship between fire occurrence and meteorological conditions.
