Before the advent of intensive forest management and fire suppression, western North
American forests exhibited a naturally occurring resistance and resilience to wildfires and …

Background Trees are major components of many terrestrial ecosystems and are grown in
managed plantations and orchards to provide a variety of economically important products …

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

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 …

Mega‐fires are often defined according to their size and intensity but are more accurately
described by their socioeconomic impacts. Three factors–climate change, fire exclusion, and …

Context More than a century of forest and fire management of Inland Pacific landscapes has

The aim of this overview paper is to analyze the use of various landscape metrics and
landscape indices for the characterization of landscape structure and various processes at …

Increasingly, objectives for forests with moderate-or mixed-severity fire regimes are to
restore successionally diverse landscapes that are resistant and resilient to current and …

Forests characterized by mixed-severity fires occupy a broad moisture gradient between
lower elevation forests typified by low-severity fires and higher elevation forests in which …

Prior to Euro–American settlement, dry ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forests (hereafter,
the “dry forests”) of the Inland Northwest were burned by frequent low-or mixed-severity fires …
