TL;DR: A multi-regional dataset of 1485 sites across 52 wildfires from the US Rocky Mountains was used to ask if and how changing climate over the last several decades impacted post-fire tree regeneration, a key indicator of forest resilience.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined relationships among fire legacies, landscape features, ecological conditions, and patterns of post-fire conifer regeneration in dry mixed-conifer forests of the U.S. northern Rockies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the usefulness of climate change science for federal resource managers, focusing on the efficacy of potential adaptation strategies and barriers limiting the use of climatechange science in adaptation efforts, and found that managers were most likely to adapt to climate change through use of existing management strategies that are already widely implemented for other non climate-related management goals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the potential for regional shifts in low-elevation tree species in response to wildfire and climate warming in dry mixed-conifer forests of the northern Rocky Mountains, USA.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared large wildfires in Pacific Northwest forests from 1984 to 2015 to modeled historic fire regimes and found that despite large increases in area burned, despite late twentieth-century increases in wildfire area, the Pacific Northwest forest has experienced an order of magnitude less fire over 32 years than expected under historic fire regime.
