Conifer regeneration following stand-replacing wildfire varies along an elevation gradient in a ponderosa pine forest, Oregon, USA
Climate change is expected to increase disturbances such as stand-replacing wildfire in
many ecosystems, which have the potential to drive rapid turnover in ecological …

Wildfires and climate change push low-elevation forests across a critical climate threshold for tree regeneration
Climate change is increasing fire activity in the western United States, which has the
potential to accelerate climate-induced shifts in vegetation communities. Wildfire can …

Vulnerability to forest loss through altered postfire recovery dynamics in a warming climate in the Klamath Mountains
AJ Tepley, JR Thompson, HE Epstein… - Global Change …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
In the context of ongoing climatic warming, certain landscapes could be near a tipping point

It takes a few to tango: changing climate and fire regimes can cause regeneration failure of two subalpine conifers
Environmental change is accelerating in the 21st century, but how multiple drivers may
interact to alter forest resilience remains uncertain. In forests affected by large high‐severity …

Rain‐shadow forest margins resilient to low‐severity fire and climate change but not high‐severity fire
LB Harris, AH Taylor - Ecosphere, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
At semi‐arid forest margins, increasing climatic stress combined with disturbances like
wildfire threatens to cause widespread forest loss. However, forest resilience is likely to vary …

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 …
