A review of the relationships between drought and forest fire in the United States
The historical and presettlement relationships between drought and wildfire are well
documented in North America, with forest fire occurrence and area clearly increasing in …

[HTML][HTML] Projected increases in western US forest fire despite growing fuel constraints
Escalating burned area in western US forests punctuated by the 2020 fire season has
heightened the need to explore near-term macroscale forest-fire area trajectories. As fires …

Pervasive drought legacies in forest ecosystems and their implications for carbon cycle models
The impacts of climate extremes on terrestrial ecosystems are poorly understood but
important for predicting carbon cycle feedbacks to climate change. Coupled climate–carbon …

Standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) revisited: parameter fitting, evapotranspiration models, tools, datasets and drought monitoring
The standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) was developed in 2010 and
has been used in an increasing number of climatology and hydrology studies. The objective …

Climate, environment, and disturbance history govern resilience of western North American forests
Before the advent of intensive forest management and fire suppression, western North
American forests exhibited a naturally occurring resistance and resilience to wildfires and …

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning relations in European forests depend on environmental context
The importance of biodiversity in supporting ecosystem functioning is generally well
accepted. However, most evidence comes from small‐scale studies, and scaling‐up …
