The increasing frequency and severity of fire and drought events have negatively impacted
the capacity and success of reforestation efforts in many dry, western US forests. Challenges …

Exploring the role of fire in each of the five Mediterranean-type climate ecosystems, this
book offers a unique view of the evolution of fire-adapted traits and the role of fire in shaping …

During drought, the tree subpopulations (such as size or vigour classes) that suffer
disproportionate mortality can be conceptually arrayed along a continuum defined by the …

We characterized the gas‐and speciated aerosol‐phase emissions from the open
combustion of 33 different plant species during a series of 255 controlled laboratory burns …

Plant biodiversity supports life on Earth and provides a range of important ecosystem
services, but is under severe pressure by global change. Structural diversity plays a crucial …

We provide a first detailed analysis of long‐term, annual‐resolution demographic trends in a
temperate forest. After tracking the fates of 21 338 trees in a network of old‐growth forest …

The drivers of background tree mortality rates—the typical low rates of tree mortality found in
forests in the absence of acute stresses like drought—are central to our understanding of …

Many managers today are tasked with restoring forests to mitigate the potential for
uncharacteristically severe fire. One challenge to this mandate is the lack of large‐scale …

Abstract Current Sierra Nevada forest management is often focused on strategically
reducing fuels without an explicit strategy for ecological restoration across the landscape …
