Sites discussed: Hedrick Lake, Pothole Lake, Swan Lake. Low elevation ecosystems. Examined charcoal records from these three lakes. Fires of 1980s show up in all three as do other fires in last 2000 years. Fire record differs between sites in sagebrush steppe and lodgepole pine forest, probably due to differing fuel loading in relation to climate and moisture regimes. (20/12/2007).
