Fire scars were recorded in 23 different years, ranging from 1862 to 1983, on 19 sample trees taken from three noncontiguous gallery forest stands. The mean fire interval (MFI) calculated for these forests ranged from 11.2-19.7 years. The actual MFI, however, probably lies somewhere between that range and the historical interval for Flint Hills prairie fire of 2-3 years</p>10atallgrass prairie1 aAbrams, M.D.  uhttp://129.130.186.12/content/fire-history-oak-gallery-forests-northeast-kansas-tallgrass-prairie
