Effects of post-fire management on dead woody fuel dynamics and stand structure in a severely burned mixed-conifer forest, in northeastern Washington State, USA

•Control units (unlogged) had the highest increase in woody fuel loadings.•Salvage logging significantly altered post-fire forest stand structural metrics.•Whole tree harvesting reduced woody fuel accumulation.•Reforestation practices may increase reburn severity. The increasing amount of high-sever...
