TLDR
In this article, the authors synthesize the available spatial reference information for fire-frequent pine and mixed-conifer forests in western North America; interpret this information in the context of restoration and fuel reduction treatment design; and identify areas for future research, including recommended approaches for quantifying withinstand tree spatial patterns.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Contemporary forest restoration: A review emphasizing function
TL;DR: The science underpinning contemporary approaches to forest restoration practice is synthesized and some major approaches for altering structure in degraded forest stands are presented, and approaches for restoration of two key ecosystem processes, fire and flooding are described.

Restoring forest resilience: From reference spatial patterns to silvicultural prescriptions and monitoring
Derek J. Churchill,Andrew J. Larson,Matthew C. Dahlgreen,Jerry F. Franklin,Paul F. Hessburg,James A. Lutz +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a spatial clump identification algorithm to quantify reference patterns based on a specified intertree distance that defines when trees form clumps and openings in mixed-conifer forests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the importance of moving beyond triage of dead and dying trees to making "green" (live) forests more resilient to climate change and highlight the need to move beyond triaging of dead or dying trees.

Statistics for spatial data
Noel A Cressie,Noel A Cressie +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of statistics for spatial data in the field of geostatistics, including spatial point patterns and point patterns modeling objects, using Lattice Data and spatial models on lattices.

5. Statistics for Spatial Data
Mike Rees,N. Cressie +1 more
TL;DR: Cressie et al. as discussed by the authors presented the Statistics for Spatial Data (SDS) for the first time in 1991, and used it for the purpose of statistical analysis of spatial data.

Spatial Scaling in Ecology
TL;DR: Acts in what Hutchinson (1965) has called the 'ecological theatre' are played out on various scales of space and time and to understand the drama, one must view it on the appropriate scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape Ecology: The Effect of Pattern on Process
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the characterization of landscape patterns and their effects on ecological processes and demonstrate that a long history of ecological studies provides a basis for the study of spatial patterns and landscape-level processes.
