change. This could lead to marked changes in tree mortality and regeneration in the region's …

Fire and herbivory are the two consumers of above-ground biomass globally. They have
contrasting impacts as they differ in terms of selectivity and temporal occurrence. Here, we …

Topographic position index (TPI) is an algorithm increasingly used to measure topographic

Fire refugia are landscape elements that remain unburned or minimally affected by fire,
thereby supporting postfire ecosystem function, biodiversity, and resilience to disturbances …

Refugia–areas that may facilitate the persistence of species during large‐scale, long‐term
climatic change–are increasingly important for conservation planning. There are many …

Disturbance refugia–locations that experience less severe or frequent disturbances than the
surrounding landscape–provide a framework to highlight not only where and why these …

Wildland fire management has reached a crossroads. Current perspectives are not capable
of answering interdisciplinary adaptation and mitigation challenges posed by increases in …

Fire refugia, sometimes referred to as fire islands, shadows, skips, residuals, or fire
remnants, are an important element of the burn mosaic, but we lack a quantitative framework …
