(i.e., wounds) to overstory trees and quantified both the relative stand volume of timber loss and the proportion of trees that had tree grade reductions because of prescribed Generally, as a stand received more prescribed fires, more trees were scarred, the relative volume lost increased, and a higher proportion of trees declined in grade. Overall, burned stands experienced less than 10 percent sawtimber volume loss, regardless of the number of prescribed fires and aspect. Previous studies that investigated the effect of periodic, lowintensity prescribed fires on standing hardwood timber volume sites and in more xeric regions, sawtimber volume loss could be higher, exceeding 10 percent, but this level of damage likely occurs only after multiple 	./cache/work_4wfrcgi7obebbnorjr3nkxax2q.pdf	./txt/work_4wfrcgi7obebbnorjr3nkxax2q.txt
