Forest fires are key ecosystem modifiers affecting the biological, chemical, and physical
attributes of forest soils. The extent of soil disturbance by fire is largely dependent on fire …

Ecological memory is central to how ecosystems respond to disturbance and is maintained
by two types of legacies–information and material. Species life‐history traits represent an …

Forest ecosystems are strongly impacted by continuing climate change and increasing
disturbance activity, but how forest dynamics will respond remains highly uncertain. Here …

Forest fires contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions and can negatively affect public
health, economic activity, and provision of ecosystem services. In boreal forests, fires are a …

Changing disturbance regimes and climate can overcome forest ecosystem resilience.
Following high-severity fire, forest recovery may be compromised by lack of tree seed …

Forest degradation affects forest structure, composition and diversity, carbon stocks,
functionality and ecosystem processes. It is known to contribute significantly to global carbon …

Under suitable conditions, deforested land used for agricultural crops or pastures can revert
to forest through the assisted or unassisted process of natural regeneration. These naturally …

Given the substantial contributions of forest biodiversity and ecosystem services to society,
forest sciences have a large potential to contribute to the integrity and sustainability of our …

Forest fires have become a growing concern worldwide, with climate change exacerbating
their frequency and intensity. In the Simlipal region of India, forest fires are relatively rare; …

There has never been a more pressing and opportune time for science and practice to
