Journal ArticleDOI
Reburn severity in managed and unmanaged vegetation in a large wildfire
TL;DR: Examination of a forest landscape in southwest Oregon that burned in 1987 and then was subject, in part, to salvage-logging and conifer planting before it reburned during the 2002 Biscuit Fire suggests that fuel conditions in conifer plantations can increase fire severity despite removal of large woody fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Four Centuries of Change in Northeastern United States Forests
TL;DR: With few exceptions, notably the American chestnut, the same taxa that made up the pre-colonial forest still comprise the forest today, despite ample opportunities for species invasion and loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vulnerability to forest loss through altered postfire recovery dynamics in a warming climate in the Klamath Mountains
Alan J. Tepley,Jonathan R. Thompson,Howard E. Epstein,Kristina J. Anderson-Teixeira,Kristina J. Anderson-Teixeira +4 more
TL;DR: To assess the vulnerability of conifers to increased fire activity and altered forest recovery dynamics in a warmer, drier climate, vegetation dynamics following severe fire in nine fire years over the last three decades are characterized across the climatic aridity gradient of montane conifer forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixed-severity fire regimes: lessons and hypotheses from the Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion
Jessica E. Halofsky,Daniel C. Donato,David E. Hibbs,John Campbell,M. Donaghy Cannon,Joseph B. Fontaine,Jonathan R. Thompson,R. G. Anthony,B. T. Bormann,Lori J. Kayes,Beverly E. Law,David L. Peterson,Thomas A. Spies +12 more
TL;DR: In the Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion of southwestern Oregon and northwestern California, a large number of mixed-severity fires have occurred in the last several decades as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of land use and climate change on forest biomass and composition in Massachusetts, USA
Jonathan R. Thompson,Jonathan R. Thompson,David R. Foster,Robert M. Scheller,David B. Kittredge,David B. Kittredge +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that continued forest growth and recovery will be the dominant mechanism driving forest dynamics over the next 50 years, and that while climate change may enhance growth rates, this will be more than offset by land use, primarily forest conversion to developed uses.
