Disturbance interactions: characterization, prediction, and the potential for cascading effects
TL;DR: In this article, a broad synthesis of the literature, and across multiple biomes, disturbance interactions are placed into a unified framework around the concept of changing ecosystem resistance (linked interactions, alterations to likelihood, extent, or severity) or ecosystem resilience (e.g., reduced ecosystem resilience and regime shifts).
Journal ArticleDOI
Disturbance interactions can impact resilience mechanisms of forests
Brian Buma,Carol A. Wessman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated a gradient of disturbance interaction severities between two events in a subalpine forest, a 1997 windstorm (variable severity) and a 2002 wildfire (high severity).

TL;DR: It is shown that disturbance patterns across the temperate biome vary with agents and tree traits, yet large disturbances are consistently linked to warmer and drier than average conditions.

Rethinking resilience to wildfire

TL;DR: In this paper, a perspective on different types of resilience to wildfire to prioritize efforts to better coexist with increasingly fire-prone conditions is presented. But the focus of this perspective is not on the human communities, but on the land management and policy reforms.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Impacts of Changing Disturbance Regimes on Serotinous Plant Populations and Communities
TL;DR: The authors explored the consequences of changing disturbance regimes (such as mean and variance in fire severity or return intervals) to serotinous species and ecosystems and implications of altered serotiny resilience at local and regional scales.
