We synthesize insights from current understanding of drought impacts at stand‐to‐
biogeographic scales, including management options, and we identify challenges to be …

The forest restoration challenge (globally 2 billion ha) and the prospect of changing climate
with increasing frequency of extreme events argues for approaching restoration from a …

Massive tree mortality has occurred rapidly in frequent-fire-adapted forests of the Sierra
Nevada, California. This mortality is a product of acute drought compounded by the long …

In several biomes, including croplands, wooded savannas, and tropical forests, many small

Applied historical ecology is the use of historical knowledge in the management of
ecosystems. Historical perspectives increase our understanding of the dynamic nature of …

Habitat loss and degradation that comes as a result of human activity is the single biggest
threat to biodiversity in the world today. Habitat Fragmentation and Landscape Change is a …

Stand-level spatial pattern influences key aspects of resilience and ecosystem function such
as disturbance behavior, regeneration, snow retention, and habitat quality in frequent-fire …

Silviculture to maintain old-growth forest attributes appears to be an oxymoron since the late
developmental phases of forest dynamics, described by the term old-growth, represent …

The purpose of this paper is to promote a broad and flexible perspective on ecological
restoration of Southwestern (US) ponderosa pine forests. Ponderosa pine forests in the …

Many indicators and criteria have been proposed to assess the sustainable management of
forests but their scientific validity remains uncertain. Because the effects of forest …
