Mesic mixed-conifer forests are resilient to both historical high-severity fire and contemporary reburns in the US Northern Rocky Mountains
High-severity fires and short-interval reburns strongly influence forest structure and
composition and may overwhelm forest ecosystem resilience and catalyze persistent shifts …

Differences in regeneration niche mediate how disturbance severity and microclimate affect forest species composition
KML Becker, JA Lutz - Forest Ecology and Management, 2023 - Elsevier
Climate change is altering forest composition through species-specific responses to fire and
drought. Future forest composition will depend on how the different regeneration niches of …

How do intervals between fires influence canopy seed production and viability?
Canopy storage of seed (serotiny) is an important persistence strategy in fire‐prone
environments. Serotinous populations can be threatened when fire intervals are shorter than …
