Wildfires are a global crisis, but current fire models fail to capture vegetation response to
changing climate. With drought and elevated temperature increasing the importance of …

Disruption of photosynthesis and carbon transport due to damage to the tree crown and
stem cambial cells, respectively, can cause tree mortality. It has recently been proposed that …

Climate change and fire exclusion have increased the flammability of western United States
forests, leading to forest cover loss when wildfires occur under severe weather conditions …

Background. The increased interest in why and how trees die from fire has led to several
syntheses of the potential mechanisms of fire-induced tree mortality. However, these …

Fire is a major cause of tree injury and mortality worldwide, yet our current understanding of
fire effects is largely based on ocular estimates of stem charring and foliage discoloration …

The reintroduction of fire to landscapes where it was once common is considered a priority
to restore historical forest dynamics, including reducing tree density and decreasing levels of …

Understanding tree physiological responses to fire is needed to accurately model post‐fire
carbon processes and inform management decisions. Given trees can die immediately or at …

Wildfires burn heterogeneously across the landscape and create complex forest structures.
Quantifying the structural changes in post-fire forests is critical to evaluating wildfire impacts …

Forests mitigate climate change by sequestering massive amounts of carbon, but recent
increases in wildfire activity are threatening carbon storage. Currently, our understanding of …

The combination of drought and fire can cause drastic changes in forest composition and
structure. Given the predictions of more frequent and severe droughts and forecasted …
