Origins of abrupt change? Postfire subalpine conifer regeneration declines nonlinearly with warming and drying
WD Hansen, MG Turner - Ecological Monographs, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Robust tree regeneration following high‐severity wildfire is key to the resilience of subalpine
and boreal forests, and 21st century climate could initiate abrupt change in forests if postfire …

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 …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] Disequilibrium of fire-prone forests sets the stage for a rapid decline in conifer dominance during the 21st century
The impacts of climatic changes on forests may appear gradually on time scales of years to
centuries due to the long generation times of trees. Consequently, current forest extent may …

A changing climate is snuffing out post‐fire recovery in montane forests
Aim Climate warming is increasing fire activity in many of Earth's forested ecosystems.
Because fire is a catalyst for change, investigation of post‐fire vegetation response is critical …

Effects of postfire climate and seed availability on postfire conifer regeneration
Large, severe fires are becoming more frequent in many forest types across the western
United States and have resulted in tree mortality across tens of thousands of hectares …

Post‐fire forest regeneration shows limited climate tracking and potential for drought‐induced type conversion
Disturbance such as wildfire may create opportunities for plant communities to reorganize in
response to climate change. The interaction between climate change and disturbance may …
