TL;DR: It is concluded that natural variability concepts provide a framework for improved un- derstanding of ecological systems and the changes occurring in these systems, as well as for evaluating the consequences of proposed management actions.

TL;DR: A broad and flexible perspective on ecological restoration of Southwestern (U.S.) ponderosa pine forests has been discussed in this article, where the authors suggest principles for ecologically sound restoration that immediately reduce crown fire risk and incrementally return natural variability and resilience to Southwestern forests, and present ecological perspectives on several forest restoration approaches.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of current and potential remote sensing methods used to assess fire behavior and effects and ecological responses to fire is provided, as well as the potential and limitations of a variety of approaches for remotely measuring active fires and their post-fire ecological effects.

TL;DR: This work proposes an approach that accepts wildfire as an inevitable catalyst of change and that promotes adaptive responses by ecosystems and residential communities to more warming and wildfire.

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.
