We determined the spatial pattern and the importance of seedbed conditions to the recruitment of P. glauca. Basal area increased along the chronosequence peaking at 110 y after fire m1 2 ha-1 . The ratio of softwood to hardwood increased from 16 y to 172 y . Picea glauca tree density increased with stand age highest densities were observed in a 172 y stand 1413 stems ha-1 . Picea glauca dominated the canopy between 93 and 172 y after fire. Picea glauca snags appeared about 66 y after fire and remained relatively low in density until 160 y. Saplings were present at varying densities along the chronosequence. Seedlings established immediately after fire and exhibited bimodality with lowest densities observed between 110 and 125 y. Analysis with Ripley s K showed that seedlings were mainly distributed at random in young stands but were clumped at a distances 12 m in old stands. In young stands the majority of seedlings regenerated on the organic layer LFH 73 while recruitment was almost exclusively on logs in old stands 94 . Picea glauca regeneration depended on propagule availability and seedbed .
