Climate drives episodic conifer establishment after fire in dry ponderosa pine forests of the Colorado Front Range, USA

MT Rother, TT Veblen - Forests, 2017 - mdpi.com

species, so we investigated whether species shifts due to climate change exhibit a common …

Spatial and temporal drivers of post-fire tree establishment and height growth in a managed forest landscape

RA Andrus, CA Droske, MC Franz, AT Hudak… - Fire Ecology, 2022 - Springer
Background In seed-obligate conifer forests of the western US, land managers need a better

Experimental warming alters spring phenology of certain plant functional groups in an early successional forest community

CR Rollinson, MW Kaye - Global Change Biology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Experimental study of the effects of projected climate change on plant phenology allows us
to isolate effects of warming on life‐history events such as leaf out. We simulated a 2° C …

Fire interval and post-fire climate effects on serotinous forest resilience

MC Agne, JB Fontaine, NJ Enright, BJ Harvey - Fire Ecology, 2022 - Springer
Background Climate change is eroding forest resilience to disturbance directly through
warming climate and indirectly through increasing disturbance activity. Forests characterized …

Ability of seedlings to survive heat and drought portends future demographic challenges for five southwestern US conifers

JL Crockett, MD Hurteau - Tree Physiology, 2024 - academic.oup.com
