Anticipating fire‐mediated impacts of climate change using a demographic framework
Climate change indirectly affects forest ecosystems through changes in the frequency, size,
and/or severity of wildfires. In addition to its direct effects prior to fire, climate also influences …

A critical review of successional dynamics in boreal forests of North America
Forest succession is a dynamic process of progressive compositional development of
ecological communities of species following natural or anthropogenic disturbance. Despite a …

Climate‐change refugia in boreal North America: what, where, and for how long?
The vast boreal biome plays an important role in the global carbon cycle but is experiencing
particularly rapid climate warming, threatening the integrity of valued ecosystems and their …

Wildfire impacts on forest microclimate vary with biophysical context
Increasing wildfire activity in western North America has the potential to remove forest
canopy cover over large areas, increasing the vulnerability of understory plants and juvenile …

Shifts in ecological legacies support hysteresis of stand type conversions in boreal forests
Many disturbances are shifting in severity, frequency, and extent due to changing climate
and human activities. Altered disturbance regimes can trigger shifts in ecosystem state …

Factors sha** alternate successional trajectories in burned black spruce forests of Alaska
Disturbances can interrupt feedbacks that maintain stable plant community structure and
create windows of opportunity for vegetation to shift to alternative states. Boreal forests are …

Patterns and drivers of early conifer regeneration following stand-replacing wildfire in Pacific Northwest (USA) temperate maritime forests
Tree regeneration is a critical mechanism of forest resilience to stand-replacing wildfire (ie,
where fire results in> 90% tree mortality), and post-fire regeneration is a concern worldwide …

Simulation modeling of complex climate, wildfire, and vegetation dynamics to address wicked problems in land management
Complex, reciprocal interactions among climate, disturbance, and vegetation dramatically
alter spatial landscape patterns and influence ecosystem dynamics. As climate and …

Wildfire impacts on root‐associated fungi and predicted plant–soil feedbacks in the boreal forest: research progress and recommendations
Root‐associated fungi play a critical role in plant ecophysiology, growth and subsequent
responses to disturbances, so they are thought to be particularly instrumental in sha** …

Black spruce (Picea mariana) seed availability and viability in boreal forests after large wildfires
Abstract Key message Black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) has historically self-
replaced following wildfire, but recent evidence suggests that this is changing. One factor …
