Journal ArticleDOI
Stand-replacing fires reduce susceptibility of lodgepole pine to mountain pine beetle outbreaks in Colorado
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how time since the last stand-replacing fire affects the susceptibility of the stand to MPB outbreaks in these forests, and they hypothesized that at a stand-scale, young post-fire stands (< c. 100-150 years old) are less susceptible to past and current MPB outbreak than are older stands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in fire–climate relationships in ponderosa pine forests in the Colorado Front Range
TL;DR: This paper examined the influence of climate variability and wildfire on fire occurrence using fire-scar evidence from 58 sites from the lower ecotone to the upper elevational limits of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) in northern Colorado.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal fire dynamics in mixed-conifer and aspen forests in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, USA
Alan J. Tepley,Thomas T. Veblen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, fire scars, stand structure, and >4300 tree ages across two 1340-ha landscapes (Williams Creek and Squaretop Mountain) that span the environmental gradient of montane mixed-conifer and aspen forests were sampled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fire severity unaffected by spruce beetle outbreak in spruce-fir forests in southwestern Colorado.
TL;DR: The finding that beetle infestation did not alter fire severity is consistent with previous retrospective studies examining fire activity following other bark beetle outbreaks and reiterates the overriding influence of climate that creates conditions conducive to large, high-severity fires in the subalpine zone of Colorado.
Journal ArticleDOI
The amplifying effects of humans on fire regimes in temperate rainforests in western Patagonia
Andrés Holz,Thomas T. Veblen +1 more
TL;DR: This article used tree rings to reconstruct fire history over the past ca. 400 years and found that fires set by the indigenous peoples in this rainforest climate were much more common and sometimes even widespread than previously known.
