3.1.5. Mixed thinning treatment with moderate
thinning of reserve buffers (Mix2)
Landscape-scale risk for this scenario was considerably
less than in the no treatment scenario (Fig. 8).
Over the entire 40-year period, ®re risk was relatively
consistent. By the third decade over 60% of the
landscape is in the low-risk category, while 10% of
the landscape is in the high-risk categories. Reserve
stands, B and C, maintained the same risk as in the no
treatment scenario. The risk in stand A was reduced
because of decreased risk in an upwind stand.
