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 …

The dead foliage of scorched crowns is one of the most conspicuous signatures of wildland
fires. Globally, crown scorch from fires in savannas, woodlands and forests causes tree …

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 …

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 …

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

Accurately predicting the mortality of trees that initially survive a fire event is important for
management, such as planning post-fire salvage, planting, and prescribed fires. Although …

Tree loss is increasing rapidly due to drought-and heat-related mortality and intensifying fire
activity. Consequently, the fate of many forests depends on the ability of juvenile trees to …

Water supply is a critical component of tree physiological health, influencing a tree's
photosynthetic activity and resilience to disturbances. The climatic regions of the western …

Little is known about the interactions between the variables involved in the post-fire
response of Mediterranean pine species to prescribed burning (PB). Thus, it is essential to …
