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

Abstract Background Wildfires in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and
western Montana, USA) have been immense in recent years, capturing the attention of …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Escalating burned area in western US forests punctuated by the 2020 fire season has
heightened the need to explore near-term macroscale forest-fire area trajectories. As fires …

Implementation of wildfire‐and climate‐adaptation strategies in seasonally dry forests of
western North America is impeded by numerous constraints and uncertainties. After more …

Increases in burned area across the western United States (US) since the mid‐1980s have
been widely documented and linked partially to climate factors, yet evaluations of trends in …

BACKGROUND Forests have considerable potential to help mitigate human-caused climate
change and provide society with a broad range of cobenefits. Local, national, and …

Streamflow often increases after fire, but the persistence of this effect and its importance to
present and future regional water resources are unclear. This paper addresses these …

Many natural disturbances have a strong climate forcing, and concern is rising about how
ecosystems will respond to disturbance regimes to which they are not adapted. Novelty can …

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