Fire interval and post-fire climate effects on serotinous forest resilience
Background Climate change is eroding forest resilience to disturbance directly through
warming climate and indirectly through increasing disturbance activity. Forests characterized …

Drought-induced photosynthetic decline and recruitment losses are mediated by light microenvironment in Rocky Mountain subalpine forest tree seedlings
Rates of tree mortality continue to rise with climate change, particularly in high elevation
subalpine forests. In these systems, which depend on a narrow range of microsite conditions …

Rocky Mountain forests are poised to recover following bark beetle outbreaks but with altered composition
Amplified by warming temperatures and drought, recent outbreaks of native bark beetles
(Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have caused extensive tree mortality throughout Europe and …

Canopy-mediated microclimate refugia do not match narrow regeneration niches in a managed dry conifer forest
Structurally heterogeneous forest conditions provide diverse microclimates which can
support juvenile tree regeneration, survival, and growth. However, the extent to which …

Cyclone–Fire Interactions Enhance Fire Extent and Severity in a Tropical Montane Pine Forest
DEB Swann, PJ Bellingham, PH Martin - Ecosystems, 2024 - Springer
Interactions between tropical cyclones and wildfires occur widely and can tip closed forests
into open-canopy structures that initiate a 'grass–fire'cycle. We examined cyclone–fire …
