Abstract
Canonical analysis of time—series data identified the stationary Markov chain as a plausible mathematics for the recovery process in burned heathland and exploited mixed forests. The process appeared robust and highly deterministic. The results indicated that a steady state may be attained in less than a decade in heathland with continued grazing, but may require more than a century in the mixed forest after exploitation ceased. These contradict, in part, findings by others who could not justify, based on field estimates of transition probabilities and axiomatic tests, the stationary Markov chain as a valid model.
