Fire is a powerful ecological and evolutionary force that regulates organismal traits,
population sizes, species interactions, community composition, carbon and nutrient cycling …

Fires occur in most terrestrial ecosystems where they drive changes in the traits,
composition, and diversity of fungal communities. Fires range from rare, stand-replacing …

The realm of wildland fire science encompasses both wild and prescribed fires. Most of the
research in the broader field has focused on wildfires, however, despite the prevalence of …

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 …

Restoring characteristic fire regimes and forest structures are central objectives of many
restoration and fuel reduction projects. Within-stand spatial pattern is a fundamental attribute …

Wildland fire management throughout most of the civilized world is at a critical juncture on
how it spends the scant money allocated toward resource management. These funds could …

Improved forest management plans require a better understanding of wildfire risk and
behavior to enhance the conservation of biodiversity and plan effective risk mitigation …

Once dominant but now largely excluded from eastern North America, open forests of
savannas to woodlands occupy the ecosystem gradient between grasslands and closed …

Coupled fire-atmospheric modeling tools are increasingly used to understand the complex
and dynamic behavior of wildland fires. Multiple research tools linking combustion to fluid …

Terrestrial Li DAR (light detection and ranging) technologies have created new means of
quantifying forest canopy structure, allowing not only the estimation of biomass, but also …
