BRUSH SEEDLING STUDIES Special attention was given to the brush seedlings that emerged in the first spring after the fire of 1947 (1948 crop) and also to those that appeared in subsequent years under various conditons. Studies were made of the survival or mortality of seedlings, during both sum- mer and winter, height, growth, utilization by deer, and seed produc- tion. Selection of Plots For these studies, 30 plots, four feet square, were selected on July 7, 1948, along a 6-mile strip in about the middle of the Tehama deer winter range (Figure 3). Ten of the plots were on unburned range and 20 on burned. Of the latter, 10 were located where dense brush had burned, and the other 10 near-by where grass had burned. The 10 unburned plots were in grass, but were close enough to brush so that new seeds could be cast on them each year. Thus, three conditions were represented: (1) unburned herbaceous cover; (2) burned herbaceous cover; (3) burned brush with no herbaceous cover the first year. The plots were selected to ensure that several to many brush seed- lings would be available for study. As expected, seedlings were far more numerous on the burned brush plots without herbacous cover than they were on the other plots. After the plots were staked, the new seedlings were counted and measured. During the first four years meas- urements were made five times each year, and thereafter, twice a year.
