We review science‐based adaptation strategies for western North American (wNA) forests
that include restoring active fire regimes and fostering resilient structure and composition of …

Fire has a diverse range of impacts on Earth's physical and social systems. Accurate and up
to date information on areas affected by fire is critical to better understand drivers of fire …

Context Forest landscapes worldwide are shaped by abiotic drivers such as fire, windstorms,
and drought, but also by biotic drivers like insect pests and pathogens. Although the effects …

Remote sensing is widely used to detect forest disturbances (eg, wildfires, harvest, or
outbreaks of pathogens or insects) over spatiotemporal scales that are infeasible to capture …

In the last two decades, airborne laser scanning (ALS) has found widespread application
and driven fundamental advances in the Earth sciences. With increasing availability and …

Abstract Purpose of Review Fire and insects are major disturbances in North American
forests. We reviewed literature on the effects of fire on bark beetles, defoliators, and …

Numerous individual tree detection (ITD) methods have been developed for use with
airborne laser scanning (ALS) data to provide tree-scale forest inventories across large …

Within the realms of both wildland and prescribed fire, an understanding of how fire severity
and forest structure interact is critical for improving fuels treatment effectiveness, quantifying …

NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) provides exceptional
opportunities for characterizing the structure of ecosystems through the acquisition of along …

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 …
