Megafires: an emerging threat to old‐forest species
GM Jones, RJ Gutiérrez, DJ Tempel… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Increasingly frequent “megafires” in North America's dry forests have prompted proposals to
restore historical fire regimes and ecosystem resilience. Restoration efforts that reduce tree …

Forest restoration limits megafires and supports species conservation under climate change
Climate change and fire suppression have altered disturbance regimes in forest ecosystems
globally. In the seasonally dry forests of western North America, large‐scale restoration may …

Cover of tall trees best predicts California spotted owl habitat
Restoration of western dry forests in the USA often focuses on reducing fuel loads. In the
range of the spotted owl, these treatments may reduce canopy cover and tree density, which …

Megafire causes persistent loss of an old‐forest species
Climate change and a long legacy of fire suppression are leading to an increased
prevalence of 'mega‐disturbances' such as drought and wildfire in terrestrial ecosystems …

Declining old‐forest species as a legacy of large trees lost
Aim Global declines in large old trees from selective logging have degraded old‐forest
ecosystems, which could lead to delayed declines or losses of old‐forest‐associated wildlife …

California spotted owl habitat selection in a fire-managed landscape suggests conservation benefit of restoring historical fire regimes
Wildland fire is a disturbance that shapes frequent-fire forest ecosystems and the life-
histories of wildlife species that inhabit them. The California spotted owl (Strix occidentalis …

Efficacy of variable density thinning and prescribed fire for restoring forest heterogeneity to mixed-conifer forest in the central Sierra Nevada, CA
Frequent-fire forests were historically characterized by lower tree density, a higher
proportion of pine species, and greater within-stand spatial variability, compared to many …
