Climate, fire size, and biophysical setting control fire severity and spatial pattern in the northern Cascade Range, USA
CA Cansler, D McKenzie - Ecological Applications, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Warmer and drier climate over the past few decades has brought larger fire sizes and
increased annual area burned in forested ecosystems of western North America, and …

Previous wildfires and management treatments moderate subsequent fire severity
We investigated the relative importance of daily fire weather, landscape position, climate,
recent forest and fuels management, and fire history to explaining patterns of remotely …

Previous fires moderate burn severity of subsequent wildland fires in two large western US wilderness areas
Wildland fire is an important natural process in many ecosystems. However, fire exclusion
has reduced frequency of fire and area burned in many dry forest types, which may affect …

The North American tree‐ring fire‐scar network
EQ Margolis, CH Guiterman, RD Chavardès… - …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Fire regimes in North American forests are diverse and modern fire records are
often too short to capture important patterns, trends, feedbacks, and drivers of variability …

Smoke consequences of new wildfire regimes driven by climate change
Smoke from wildfires has adverse biological and social consequences, and various lines of
evidence suggest that smoke from wildfires in the future may be more intense and …

Does hot and dry equal more wildfire? Contrasting short‐and long‐term climate effects on fire in the Sierra Nevada, CA
Climate and wildfire are closely linked. Climate regulates wildfire directly over short
timescales through its effect on fuel aridity and indirectly over long timescales through …

Spatial bottom‐up controls on fire likelihood vary across western North America
The unique nature of landscapes has challenged our ability to make generalizations about
the effects of bottom‐up controls on fire regimes. For four geographically distinct fire‐prone …

Toward a theory of landscape fire
Landscape ecology is the study of relationships between spatial pattern and ecological
process (Turner 1989; Turner et al. 2001). It is the subfield of ecology that requires an …
