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 …

Mastication is an increasingly common fuels treatment that redistributes “ladder” fuels to the
forest floor to reduce vertical fuel continuity, crown fire potential, and fireline intensity, but …

The vegetation of semi‐arid and arid landscapes is often comprised of mixtures of
herbaceous and woody vegetation. Since the early 1900s, shifts from herbaceous to woody …

Wildfire regimes are changing across the globe with several ecosystems witnessing more
frequent fires across longer fire seasons. The western United States is one such region. The …

The Springer Textbooks series publishes a broad portfolio of textbooks on Earth Sciences,
Geography and Environmental Science. Springer textbooks provide comprehensive …

Accessory structures are those man-made structures on the landscape surrounding a
primary structure that are mostly separated from the structure and usually not substantially …

This review presents a multidisciplinary framework for integrating the ecological, regulatory,
procedural and technical aspects of forest management for fi res prevention under …

Smoke from biomass fires makes up a substantial portion of global greenhouse gas,

This guide describes the benefits, opportunities, and trade-offs concerning fuel treatments in
the dry mixed conifer forests of northern California and the Klamath Mountains, Pacific …

Mechanical mastication converts shrub and small tree fuels into surface fuels, and this
method is being widely used as a treatment to reduce fire hazard. The compactness of these …
