Vast areas of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) forest in the western
United States have become unnaturally dense because of relatively recent land …

Euro–American logging practices, intensive grazing, and fire suppression have increased
the amount of carbon that is stored in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. Ex Laws) …

Southwestern ponderosa pine forests were dramatically altered by fire regime disruption that
accompanied Euro‐American settlement in the 1800s. Major changes include increased …

Following Euro-American settlement in the late 1800s, fire suppression and livestock
grazing in ponderosa pine-bunchgrass ecosystems of the southwestern US resulted in the …

Disturbances alter ecosystem carbon dynamics, often by reducing carbon uptake and
stocks. We compared the impact of two types of disturbances that represent the most likely …

Changing climate and a legacy of fire‐exclusion have increased the probability of high‐
severity wildfire, leading to an increased risk of forest carbon loss in ponderosa pine forests …

The purpose of this paper is to promote a broad and flexible perspective on ecological
restoration of Southwestern (US) ponderosa pine forests. Ponderosa pine forests in the …

We investigated the impacts of a thinning prescription commonly used to reduce fuel loads
in mature ponderosa pine forests of the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains on the …

Biomass, N, and C removed in thinning two young dense stands of ponderosa pine in
Arizona was estimated by sampling loose and piled slash, and pulpwood on 1/3 hectare …

Potential fire behavior was compared under dry, windy weather conditions in 12 ponderosa
pine stands treated with alternative thinning prescriptions in the wildland/urban interface of …
