Restoring characteristic fire regimes and forest structures are central objectives of many
restoration and fuel reduction projects. Within-stand spatial pattern is a fundamental attribute …

As temperatures warm and precipitation patterns shift as a result of climate change, interest
in the identification of tree genotypes that will thrive under more arid conditions has grown …

Forest mortality is accelerating due to climate change and the largest trees may be at the
greatest risk, threatening critical ecological, economic, and social benefits. Here, we …

Background California in the year 2020 experienced a record breaking number of large
fires. Here, we place this and other recent years in a historical context by examining records …

Aim To examine the contribution of large‐diameter trees to biomass, stand structure, and
species richness across forest biomes. Location Global. Time period Early 21st century …

Rising temperatures are amplifying drought‐induced stress and mortality in forests globally.
It remains uncertain, however, whether tree mortality across drought‐stricken landscapes …

With the increasing frequency and severity of altered disturbance regimes in dry, western US
forests, treatments promoting resilience have become a management objective but have …

Each year wildland fires kill and injure trees on millions of forested hectares globally,
affecting plant and animal biodiversity, carbon storage, hydrologic processes, and …

Trees can live for many centuries with sustained fecundity and death is largely stochastic.
We use a neutral stochastic model to examine tree demographic patterns that emerge over …

In this article, a new evolutionary algorithm, Forest Optimization Algorithm (FOA), suitable for
continuous nonlinear optimization problems has been proposed. It is inspired by few trees in …
