Biodiversity faces many threats and these can interact to produce outcomes that may not be
predicted by considering their effects in isolation. Habitat loss and fragmentation (hereafter …

Fire is an important disturbance in many forest landscapes, but there is heightened concern
regarding recent wildfire activity in western North America. Several regional‐scale studies …

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 …

California fire regimes have been altered from those that occurred prior to Euro-American
settlement, and are predicted to continue to change as global climates warm. Inclusion of fire …

Wildland fires (WLF) have become more frequent, larger, and severe with greater impacts to
society and ecosystems and dramatic increases in firefighting costs. Forests throughout the …

We used simulation modeling to analyze wildfire exposure to social and ecological values
on a 0.6 millionha national forest in central Oregon, USA. We simulated 50,000 wildfires that …

Lightning strikes are pervasive, however, their distributions vary both spatially and in time,
resulting in a complex pattern of lightning-ignited wildfires. Over the last decades, lightning …

Abstract Context In the interior Northwest, debate over restoring mixed-conifer forests after a
century of fire exclusion is hampered by poor understanding of the pattern and causes of …

Wildfires pose a unique challenge to conservation in fire‐prone regions, yet few studies
quantify the cumulative effects of wildfires on forest dynamics (ie, changes in structural …

In many fire-dependent forests in the United States, changes occurring in the last century
have resulted in overstory structures, conifer densities, down woody structure and …
