Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of fires on susceptibility of subalpine forests to a 19th century spruce beetle outbreak in western Colorado

TL;DR: In the subalpine forests of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, research on disturbances that have occurred over the past several decades has shown that prior occurrence of disturbances can alter the extents of the trees as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is foliar flammability of woody species related to time since fire and herbivory in northwest Patagonia, Argentina?

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that plant foliar traits vary between recently burned and unburned sites, and that these variations may enhance foliar flammability in shrubland communities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Habitat distribution modeling reveals vegetation flammability and land use as drivers of wildfire in SW Patagonia

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of biophysical and anthropogenic variables on the spatial distribution of wildfire activity between 1984 and 2010 over an extensive southern Patagonian-Andean region from ca. 43° to 53° S extending from coastal rainforests to xeric woodland and steppe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Past and Present Vulnerability of Closed-Canopy Temperate Forests to Altered Fire Regimes: A Comparison of the Pacific Northwest, New Zealand, and Patagonia

TL;DR: This analysis suggests that ecological and climatic factors explain much of the differences in how these mesic–dry forests responded to prehistoric anthropogenic burning in the Pacific Northwest, New Zealand and northern Patagonia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing dendroecological methods to reconstruct defoliator outbreaks on Nothofagus pumilio in northwestern Patagonia, Argentina

TL;DR: Differences in tree-ring growth response to climate between N. pumilio and A. chilensis did not support the use of the latter species as a reliable climatic control in most of the study area, but the alternative procedures were effective in detecting past defoliati...
