Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Analysis of longitudinal data from unmanaged old forests in the western United States showed that background (noncatastrophic) mortality rates have increased rapidly in recent decades, with doubling periods ranging from 17 to 29 years among regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Interaction of Fire, Fuels, and Climate across Rocky Mountain Forests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize current research and summarize lessons learned from recent large wildfires (the Yellowstone, Rodeo-Chediski, and Hayman fires), which represent case studies of the potential effectiveness of fuel reduction across a range of major forest types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climatic and human influences on fire regimes in ponderosa pine forests in the Colorado Front Range.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a study of fire history along an elevational gradient from -1830 to 2800 m in ponderosa pine forests in the northern Colorado Front Range and determined fire-scar dates from 525 partial cross sections from living and dead trees at 41 sample sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant succession : theory and prediction
TL;DR: In this paper, the nature of vegetation dynamics is discussed, and individual-based models of forest succession are presented, from population dynamics to community dynamics: modeling succession as a species replacement process R. van Hulst.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
