Tamm Review: Ecological principles to guide post-fire forest landscape management in the Inland Pacific and Northern Rocky Mountain regions
Post-fire landscapes are the frontline of forest ecosystem change. As such, they represent
opportunities to foster conditions that are better adapted to future climate and wildfires with …

Previous wildfires and management treatments moderate subsequent fire severity
We investigated the relative importance of daily fire weather, landscape position, climate,
recent forest and fuels management, and fire history to explaining patterns of remotely …

Reduced fire severity offers near-term buffer to climate-driven declines in conifer resilience across the western United States
Increasing fire severity and warmer, drier postfire conditions are making forests in the
western United States (West) vulnerable to ecological transformation. Yet, the relative …
