Wildfires and climate change push low-elevation forests across a critical climate threshold for tree regeneration
Climate change is increasing fire activity in the western United States, which has the
potential to accelerate climate-induced shifts in vegetation communities. Wildfire can …

Using revegetation to suppress invasive plants in grasslands and forests
Following the removal of invasive plant species, most land managers rely on natural
succession to re‐establish native plant communities. However, insufficient native propagule …

The demography of tree species response to climate: seedling recruitment and survival
CD Canham, L Murphy - Ecosphere, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Seedling recruitment and survival are critical bottlenecks in tree population dynamics and
are likely to play central roles in shifts in species distributions under climate change. We use …
