Because of the key role played by fire in structuring boreal forest ecosystems, interactions
between vegetation and fire regime may be an important and dynamic control of forest …

Although succession may follow multiple pathways in a given environment, the causes of
such variation are often elusive. This paper describes how changes in fire interval mediate …

Novel combinations of fire regime and forest type are emerging in areas affected by climate
change, fire exclusion, and other stressors. Species interactions following wildfire in these …

Predicting plant community responses to changing environmental conditions is a key
element of forecasting and mitigating the effects of global change. Disturbance can play an …

Future changes in climate are widely anticipated to increase fire frequency, particularly in
boreal forests where extreme warming is expected to occur. Feedbacks between vegetation …

The boreal region as a whole has long been considered a carbon sink. An estimated 0.31 소
0.19 petagrams of carbon were sequestered by its forests per year over the period of 1992 …

Resilience of plant communities to disturbance is supported by multiple mechanisms,
including ecological legacies affecting propagule availability, species' environmental …

Disturbances are mechanisms that mediate ecosystem changes in response to climate-
driven vegetation changes. While many studies have looked at the effect of fire on …

Background Concern is mounting that larger, stand-replacing forest fires may accelerate
compositional shifts or conversions to non-forested states under a warming climate. Post-fire …

In the context of ongoing climatic warming, certain landscapes could be near a tipping point
where relatively small changes to their fire regimes or their postfire forest recovery dynamics …
