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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wildfires and climate change push low-elevation forests across a critical climate threshold for tree regeneration.

TL;DR: It is found that climate change combined with high severity fire is leading to increasingly fewer opportunities for seedlings to establish after wildfires and may lead to ecosystem transitions in low-elevation ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir forests across the western United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limited conifer regeneration following wildfires in dry ponderosa pine forests of the Colorado Front Range
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors surveyed conifer regeneration 8-15 years after fire in six burn areas in the lower montane zone of the Colorado Front Range and found that the densities of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) are generally low, although areas of abundant regeneration do occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
A field experiment informs expected patterns of conifer regeneration after disturbance under changing climate conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors implemented a field experiment to examine the effects of climate change on tree regeneration following disturbances such as wildfire, altering post-disturbance vegetation trajectories.
Journal ArticleDOI
A changing climate is snuffing out post-fire recovery in montane forests

TL;DR: This article characterized the influences of climate and terrain on post-fire tree regeneration and assessed how these biophysical factors might shape future vulnerability to wildfire-driven forest conversion, which is critical to understanding the potential for future conversions from forest to non-forest vegetation types.
