Tamm Review: Ecological principles to guide post-fire forest landscape management in the Inland Pacific and Northern Rocky Mountain regions
Post-fire landscapes are the frontline of forest ecosystem change. As such, they represent
opportunities to foster conditions that are better adapted to future climate and wildfires with …

Considering regeneration failure in the context of changing climate and disturbance regimes in western North America
Wildfire-mediated changes to forests have prompted numerous studies on post-fire forest
recovery of coniferous forests. Given climate change, a growing body of work demonstrates …

High‐severity and short‐interval wildfires limit forest recovery in the Central Cascade Range
Increasing forest fuel aridity with climate change may be expanding mid‐to‐high‐elevation
forests' vulnerability to large, severe, and frequent wildfire. Long‐lasting changes in forests' …

A short-interval reburn catalyzes departures from historical structure and composition in a mesic mixed-conifer forest
Recent increases in fire frequency and severity across the western US are triggering abrupt
changes in ecosystem structure and composition, especially in lower montane forests, but …

Patterns and drivers of early conifer regeneration following stand-replacing wildfire in Pacific Northwest (USA) temperate maritime forests
Tree regeneration is a critical mechanism of forest resilience to stand-replacing wildfire (ie,
where fire results in> 90% tree mortality), and post-fire regeneration is a concern worldwide …
