BACKGROUND Fire has shaped the diversity of life on Earth for millions of years. Variation
in fire regimes continues to be a source of biodiversity across the globe, and many plants …

We review science‐based adaptation strategies for western North American (wNA) forests
that include restoring active fire regimes and fostering resilient structure and composition of …

Forest ecosystems are strongly impacted by continuing climate change and increasing
disturbance activity, but how forest dynamics will respond remains highly uncertain. Here …

Intensifying wildfire activity and climate change can drive rapid forest compositional shifts. In
boreal North America, black spruce shapes forest flammability and depends on fire for …

Ecosystems are dynamic systems with complex responses to environmental variation. In
response to pervasive stressors of changing climate and disturbance regimes, many …

Changing disturbance regimes and climate can overcome forest ecosystem resilience.
Following high-severity fire, forest recovery may be compromised by lack of tree seed …

The boreal forest biome is a major component of Earth's biosphere and climate system that
is projected to shift northward due to continued climate change over the coming century …

Large projected increases in forest disturbance pose a major threat to future wood fiber
supply and carbon sequestration in the cold-limited, Canadian boreal forest ecosystem …

The success and rate of forest regeneration has consequences for sustainable forest
management, climate change mitigation, and biodiversity, among others. Systematically …

Arctic‐boreal landscapes are experiencing profound warming, along with changes in
ecosystem moisture status and disturbance from fire. This region is of global importance in …
