Scientists from the Federal Forest Service describe how lightning more often strikes open areas and trees, the factors that attract strikes, and the resulting damage. The western yellow pine is highlighted as the most frequently struck tree in the West, with fires starting from humus and lightning events.
The report outlines how fire spread is limited when ground litter is absent in western pine forests. Lightning mainly hits in a curved strip from southern Utah to western New Mexico, including the Kaibab Plateau and Grand Canyon, with Appalachians seeing frequent strikes on chestnut and oak trees. Gulf States have many storms but lower fire hazard due to heavy rainfall.
