We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

Abstract Purpose of Review Resilience is a key concept to deal with an uncertain future in
forestry. In recent years, it has received increasing attention from both research and practice …

Across the globe, rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns have caused
persistent regional droughts, lengthened fire seasons, and increased the number of weather …

The prevailing paradigm in the western US is that the increase in stand-replacing wildfires in
historically frequent-fire dry forests is due to unnatural fuel loads that have resulted from …

Many recent wildfires in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Lawson & C. Lawson)–
dominated forests of the western United States have burned more severely than historical …

There are fundamental spatial and temporal disconnects between the specific policies that
have been crafted to address our wildfire challenges. The biophysical changes in fuels …

Background Adverse effects of wildfires can be mitigated within fuel treatments, but empirical
evidence of their effectiveness across large areas is needed to guide design and …

Fire is a complex process involving interactions and feedbacks between biological,
socioeconomic, and physical drivers across multiple spatial and temporal scales. This …

As the effects of climate change accumulate and intensify, resource managers juggle
existing goals and new mandates to operationalize adaptation. Fire managers contend with …

Prescribed burning as a fuel treatment seeks to moderate wildfire impacts and decreases
the areal extent of wildfires by increasing the effectiveness of fire suppression. Assessment …
