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 …

Increased understanding of how mechanical thinning, prescribed burning, and wildfire affect
subsequent wildfire severity is urgently needed as people and forests face a growing wildfire …

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 …

Changing disturbance regimes and climate can overcome forest ecosystem resilience.
Following high-severity fire, forest recovery may be compromised by lack of tree seed …

Abstract Purpose of Review Increasing wildfire size and severity across the western United
States has created an environmental and social crisis that must be approached from a …

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 …

With the increasing frequency and severity of altered disturbance regimes in dry, western US
forests, treatments promoting resilience have become a management objective but have …

The 2020 fire season punctuated a decades-long trend of increased fire activity across the
western United States, nearly doubling the total area burned in the central Rocky Mountains …

Dry conifer forests in the western US historically experienced frequent fire prior to European
