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

Background Wildfires, like many disturbances, can be catalysts for ecosystem change. Given
projected climate change, tree regeneration declines and ecosystem shifts following severe …

In the context of ongoing climatic warming, certain landscapes could be near a tipping point
where relatively small changes to their fire regimes or their postfire forest recovery dynamics …

Fire is an important disturbance in many forest landscapes, but there is heightened concern
regarding recent wildfire activity in western North America. Several regional‐scale studies …

Many recent wildfires in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Lawson & C. Lawson)–
dominated forests of the western United States have burned more severely than historical …

Climate change is expected to cause widespread shifts in the distribution and abundance of
plant species through direct impacts on mortality, regeneration, and survival. At landscape …

Due to fire suppression policies, timber harvest, and other management practices over the
last century, many low‐to mid‐elevation forests in semiarid parts of the western United …

Climate change is projected to increase fire severity and frequency in the boreal forest, but it
could also directly affect post-fire recruitment processes by impacting seed production …

In recent years, increased wildfire activity and climate change have raised concern among
scientists and land managers regarding current and future vegetation patterns in post‐burn …

Shifting disturbance regimes can have cascading effects on many ecosystems processes.
This is particularly true when the scale of the disturbance no longer matches the …
