Ecosystems are dynamic systems with complex responses to environmental variation. In
response to pervasive stressors of changing climate and disturbance regimes, many …

Background Wildfires, like many disturbances, can be catalysts for ecosystem change. Given
projected climate change, tree regeneration declines and ecosystem shifts following severe …

Exploring the role of fire in each of the five Mediterranean-type climate ecosystems, this
book offers a unique view of the evolution of fire-adapted traits and the role of fire in sha** …

In areas where fire regimes and forest structure have been dramatically altered, there is
increasing concern that contemporary fires have the potential to set forests on a positive …

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 …

In the context of ongoing climatic warming, certain landscapes could be near a tip** point
where relatively small changes to their fire regimes or their postfire forest recovery dynamics …

Forests characterized by mixed-severity fires occupy a broad moisture gradient between
lower elevation forests typified by low-severity fires and higher elevation forests in which …

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 …

Aim Determine if differences in the climatic niche between conspecific adult and juvenile
trees of the western U nites S tates vary by species traits and to assess if forest canopies …

In the majority of US political settings wildland fire is still discussed as a negative force.
Lacking from current wildfire discussions are estimates of the spatial extent of fire and their …
