Wildland fires are a vital ecological process in Canada's protected areas (PAs), resulting in
both ecological benefits and detrimental disturbances. In the face of rapid global changes …

Background Canadian fire management agencies track drought conditions using the
Drought Code (DC) in the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System. The DC represents …

Understanding climate as a driver of low-to moderate-severity fires in the Montane Cordillera
Ecozone of Canada is a priority given predicted and observed increases in frequency and …

Most regulatory and certification agencies in Canada now require forest management plans
to include some level of historical fire pattern approximation. As a result, sustainable forest …

Spring fire activity has increased in parts of Canada, particularly in the west, prompting fire
managers to seek indicators of potential activity before the fire season starts. The …

Climate projections indicate that dangerous fire weather will become more common over the
coming century. We examine the potential of a network of temperature-and moisture …

To investigate drought influences on mixed-severity fire regimes in montane forests of
southeastern British Columbia, we developed a Douglas-fir latewood-width chronology and …

Understanding climate as a driver of low-to moderate-severity fires in the Montane Cordillera
Ecozone of Canada is a priority given predicted and observed increases in frequency and …

In dry forests of southeastern British Columbia (BC) dense stands may be legacies of past
high-severity fires and exist within the historical range of variability, or they may result from …

Understanding historical fire-drought associations, particularly in forests with mixed-severity
fire regimes, is a research and fire management priority in western North America. My thesis …
