Space and airborne sensors have been used to map area burned, assess characteristics of
active fires, and characterize post-fire ecological effects. Confusion about fire intensity, fire …

Biomass burning and resulting fire regimes are major drivers of vegetation changes and of
ecosystem dynamics. Understanding past fire dynamics and their relationship to these …

Recent fire seasons in the western United States are some of the most damaging and costly
on record. Wildfires in the wildland-urban interface on the Colorado Front Range, resulting …

LANDFIRE is a 5-year, multipartner project producing consistent and comprehensive maps
and data describing vegetation, wildland fuel, fire regimes and ecological departure from …

Recent research has concluded that forest wildfires in the western United States are
becoming larger and more frequent. A more significant question may be whether the …

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 …

Fire is a keystone process in many ecosystems of western North America. Severe fires kill
and consume large amounts of above‐and belowground biomass and affect soils, resulting …

Fire is well recognized as a key Earth system process, but its causes and influences vary
greatly across spatial and temporal scales. The controls of fire are often portrayed as a set of …

Comprehensive assessment of ecological change after fires have burned forests and
rangelands is important if we are to understand, predict and measure fire effects. We …

There is interest in the global community on how fire regimes are changing as a function of
changing demographics and climate. The ground‐based data to monitor such trends in fire …
