Origins of abrupt change? Postfire subalpine conifer regeneration declines nonlinearly with warming and drying
WD Hansen, MG Turner - Ecological Monographs, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Robust tree regeneration following high‐severity wildfire is key to the resilience of subalpine
and boreal forests, and 21st century climate could initiate abrupt change in forests if postfire …
