Novel disturbance regimes and ecological responses
Many natural disturbances have a strong climate forcing, and concern is rising about how
ecosystems will respond to disturbance regimes to which they are not adapted. Novelty can …

Forest fire size amplifies postfire land surface warming
Climate warming has caused a widespread increase in extreme fire weather, making forest
fires longer-lived and larger,–. The average forest fire size in Canada, the USA and Australia …

Spatial interactions among short‐interval fires reshape forest landscapes
BJ Harvey, MS Buonanduci… - Global Ecology and …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Aim Ecological disturbances are increasing as climate warms, and how multiple
disturbances interact spatially to drive landscape change is poorly understood. We …

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 …

Widespread exposure to altered fire regimes under 2 C warming is projected to transform conifer forests of the Western United States
Abstract Changes in wildfire frequency and severity are altering conifer forests and pose
threats to biodiversity and natural climate solutions. Where and when feedbacks between …

Distinct fungal and bacterial responses to fire severity and soil depth across a ten-year wildfire chronosequence in beetle-killed lodgepole pine forests
Lodgepole pine forests are under threat due to wildfires of increasing severity and frequency
coupled with tree mortality from insect outbreaks. Soil microbial communities, which drive …

The Dynamic Temperate and Boreal Fire and Forest-Ecosystem Simulator (DYNAFFOREST): Development and evaluation
Fire is a dominant disturbance in temperate and boreal biomes, and increasing burned area
with climate change may fundamentally alter forests. Improved information about how fire …

Consistent spatial scaling of high‐severity wildfire can inform expected future patterns of burn severity
Increasing wildfire activity in forests worldwide has driven urgency in understanding current
and future fire regimes. Spatial patterns of area burned at high severity strongly shape forest …

Fire sparks upslope range shifts of N orth C ascades plant species
As ongoing climate change drives suitable habitats to higher elevations, species ranges are
predicted to follow. However, observed range shifts have been surprisingly variable, with …

Climate change and altered fire regimes: impacts on plant populations, species, and ecosystems in both hemispheres
BJ Harvey, NJ Enright - Plant Ecology, 2022 - Springer
Extreme fire seasons in both hemispheres in 2019 and 2020 have highlighted the strong link
between climate warming and altered fire regimes. While shifts in fire regimes alone can …
