Context Forest landscapes worldwide are shaped by abiotic drivers such as fire, windstorms,
and drought, but also by biotic drivers like insect pests and pathogens. Although the effects …

Natural disturbances play a key role in ecosystem dynamics and are important factors for
sustainable forest ecosystem management. Quantitative models are frequently employed to …

They may influence us as individuals by their encouragement and guidance; they may affect
their community through their untiring commitment to service and the greater good; or they …

Biome-scale disturbances by eruptive herbivores provide valuable insights into species
interactions, ecosystem function, and impacts of global change. We present a conceptual …

Climate change is likely to alter wildfire regimes, but the magnitude and timing of potential
climate-driven changes in regional fire regimes are not well understood. We considered how …

The factors controlling the extent of fire in Africa south of the equator were investigated using
moderate resolution (500 m) satellite‐derived burned area maps and spatial data on the …

The potential for mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera:
Curculionidae: Scolytinae), to expand its historical range in North America from west of the …

Outbreaks of aggressive bark beetle species cause widespread tree mortality, affecting
timber production, wildlife habitat, wildfire, forest composition and structure, biogeochemical …

Millions of trees killed by bark beetles in western North America have raised concerns about
subsequent wildfire, but studies have reported a range of conclusions, often seemingly …

Identifying and quantifying the statistical relationships between climate and anthropogenic
drivers of fire is important for global biophysical modelling of wildfire and other Earth system …
