We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

Fire has a profound, though paradoxical influence on landscapes of the southeastern US; it
simultaneously maintains native biodiversity and ecosystem processes but also threatens …

A predictive equation for estimating fire frequency was developed from theories and data in
physical chemistry, ecosystem ecology, and climatology. We refer to this equation as the …

Prescribed fires are increasingly implemented throughout eastern deciduous forests to
accomplish various management objectives, including maintenance of oak-dominated …

Fire has a role in ecosystem services; naturally produced wildfires are important for the
sustainability of many terrestrial biomes and fire is one of nature's primary carbon-cycling …

Wildfires are an integral part of most terrestrial ecosystems. Paleofire records composed of

Prescribed fire is often used in upland oak forests to achieve objectives related to woodland
restoration or oak regeneration. While not uncommon for prescriptions to include repeated …

Increasingly detailed records of long‐term fire regime characteristics are needed to test
ecological concepts and inform natural resource management and policymaking. We …

Fire‐maintained ecosystems and associated species are becoming increasingly rare in the
southern Appalachian Mountains because of fire suppression policies implemented in the …

The shapes of landscapes are fundamental to ecosystem processes at various spatial
