Wildfires and climate change push low-elevation forests across a critical climate threshold for tree regeneration
Climate change is increasing fire activity in the western United States, which has the
potential to accelerate climate-induced shifts in vegetation communities. Wildfire can …

A changing climate is snuffing out post‐fire recovery in montane forests
Aim Climate warming is increasing fire activity in many of Earth's forested ecosystems.
Because fire is a catalyst for change, investigation of post‐fire vegetation response is critical …

Influence of fire refugia spatial pattern on post-fire forest recovery in Oregon's Blue Mountains
Context Fire regimes in many dry forests of western North America are substantially different
from historical conditions, and there is concern about the ability of these forests to recover …

Spatial and temporal drivers of post-fire tree establishment and height growth in a managed forest landscape
Background In seed-obligate conifer forests of the western US, land managers need a better
understanding of the spatiotemporal variability in post-fire recovery to develop adaptation …

[HTML][HTML] Topography and post-fire climatic conditions shape spatio-temporal patterns of conifer establishment and growth
CE Littlefield - Fire Ecology, 2019 - Springer
Background Concern is mounting that larger, stand-replacing forest fires may accelerate
compositional shifts or conversions to non-forested states under a warming climate. Post-fire …

Conifer seedling demography reveals mechanisms of initial forest resilience to wildfires in the northern Rocky Mountains
Climate warming and an increased frequency and severity of wildfires are expected to
transform forest ecosystems, in part through altered post-fire vegetation trajectories. Such a …
