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 …

Wildland fires dramatically affect forest ecosystems, altering the loss of their biodiversity and
their sustainability. In addition, they have a strong impact on the global carbon balance and …

This study investigates the potential of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to measure and
monitor structural properties of forests. Two remote sensing techniques, airborne laser …

Wildfire plays an important role in ecosystem dynamics, land management, and global
processes. Understanding the dynamics associated with wildfire, such as risks, spatial …

Context More than a century of forest and fire management of Inland Pacific landscapes has
transformed their successional and disturbance dynamics. Regional connectivity of many …

The increasing frequency and severity of fire and drought events have negatively impacted
the capacity and success of reforestation efforts in many dry, western US forests. Challenges …

Although recent large wildfires in California forests are well publicized in media and
scientific literature, their cumulative effects on forest structure and implications for forest …

Following changes in vegetation structure and pattern, along with a changing climate, large
wildfire incidence has increased in forests throughout the western United States. Given this …

Recent and projected increases in the frequency and severity of large wildfires in the
western US makes understanding the factors that strongly affect landscape fire patterns a …

LiDAR individual tree detection (ITD) is a promising tool for measuring forests at a scale that
is meaningful ecologically and useful for forest managers. However, most ITD research …
