The increasing incidence of wildfires across the southwestern United States (US) is altering
the contemporary forest management template within historically frequent-fire conifer forests …

Post-fire landscapes are the frontline of forest ecosystem change. As such, they represent
opportunities to foster conditions that are better adapted to future climate and wildfires with …

A 'resilient'forest endures disturbance and is likely to persist. Resilience to wildfire may arise
from feedback between fire behaviour and forest structure in dry forest systems. Frequent fire …

A century of fire suppression has left fire-dependent forests of the western United States
increasingly vulnerable to wildfire, drought, and insects. Forest managers are trying to …

Novel combinations of fire regime and forest type are emerging in areas affected by climate
change, fire exclusion, and other stressors. Species interactions following wildfire in these …

Satellite-derived fire severity metrics are a foundational tool used to estimate fire effects at
the landscape scale. Changes in surface characteristics permit reasonably accurate …

Background tree mortality is a complex process that requires large sample sizes and long
timescales to disentangle the suite of ecological factors that collectively contribute to tree …

The 2012–2016 hotter drought in the Sierra Nevada, California, USA led to the mortality of
millions of trees. This disruption to the disturbance regime is an example of how climate …

High-severity fires and short-interval reburns strongly influence forest structure and
composition and may overwhelm forest ecosystem resilience and catalyze persistent shifts …

Background Following a century of fire suppression in western North America, managers
use forest restoration treatments to reduce fuel loads and reintroduce key processes like fire …
