Wildfires are part of the natural cycle of life in vegetated regions. The apparent increase in
size and frequency of recent years reflects land management legacy, expansion of human …

Severe wildfire is altering the natural and the built environment and posing risks to
environmental and societal health and well-being, including cascading impacts to water …

Implementation of wildfire‐and climate‐adaptation strategies in seasonally dry forests of
western North America is impeded by numerous constraints and uncertainties. After more …

Forests are increasingly threatened by climate-change-fuelled cycles of drought, dieback
and wildfires. However, for reasons that remain incompletely understood, some forest stands …

As CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere rises, there is a need for improved physical
understanding of its impact on global plant transpiration. This knowledge gap poses a major …

Abstract Within the western United States, increasingly severe and frequent wildfires may
alter the magnitude, timing, and quality of water exported from burned areas by streams …

Forest disturbances alter land biophysics. Their impacts on local climate and land surface
temperature (LST) cannot be directly measured by comparing pre-and post-disturbance …

Forest restoration through mechanical thinning, prescribed burning, and other management
actions is vital to improving forest resilience to fire and drought across the Western United …

The impact of wildfire on water availability is a critical issue in the western United States.
Because actual evapotranspiration (ETa) constitutes the largest loss in the terrestrial water …

Wildfires are increasing in frequency, intensity, and extent globally due to climate change
and they can alter forest composition, structure, and function. The destruction and …
