We review science‐based adaptation strategies for western North American (wNA) forests
that include restoring active fire regimes and fostering resilient structure and composition of …

Context More than a century of forest and fire management of Inland Pacific landscapes has
transformed their successional and disturbance dynamics. Regional connectivity of many …

Implementation of wildfire‐and climate‐adaptation strategies in seasonally dry forests of
western North America is impeded by numerous constraints and uncertainties. After more …

Increasing drought frequency and severity in a warming climate threaten forest ecosystems
with widespread tree deaths. Canopy structure is important in regulating tree mortality during …

Forest landscapes across western North America (wNA) have experienced extensive
changes over the last two centuries, while climatic warming has become a global reality over …

A significant increase in treatment pace and scale is needed to restore dry western US forest
resilience owing to increasingly frequent and severe wildfire and drought. We propose a …

Massive tree mortality has occurred rapidly in frequent-fire-adapted forests of the Sierra
Nevada, California. This mortality is a product of acute drought compounded by the long …

For over 20 years, forest fuel reduction has been the dominant management action in
western US forests. These same actions have also been associated with the restoration of …

Abstract The USDA Forest Service is implementing a new planning rule and starting to
revise forest plans for many of the 155 National Forests. In forests that historically had …

The increasing frequency and severity of fire and drought events have negatively impacted
the capacity and success of reforestation efforts in many dry, western US forests. Challenges …
