[HTML][HTML] Mass fire behavior created by extensive tree mortality and high tree density not predicted by operational fire behavior models in the southern Sierra Nevada
Large, severe wildfires continue to burn in frequent-fire adapted forests but the mechanisms
that contribute to them and their predictability are important questions. Using a combination …

The severity and extent of the Australia 2019–20 Eucalyptus forest fires are not the legacy of forest management
The 2019–20 wildfires in eastern Australia presented a globally important opportunity to
evaluate the respective roles of climatic drivers and natural and anthropogenic disturbances …
