A short-interval reburn catalyzes departures from historical structure and composition in a mesic mixed-conifer forest

Tyler J. Hoecker et al.

Summary: Recent increases in fire frequency and severity in the western US are causing abrupt changes in ecosystem structure, with uncertain impacts on mesic, mixed-conifer forests. The density and composition of postfire tree regeneration in Glacier National Park vary based on fire interval time, with potential shifts in the entire plant community.

Tamm Review: Ecological principles to guide post-fire forest landscape management in the Inland Pacific and Northern Rocky Mountain regions

Andrew J. Larson et al.

Summary: The article introduces ecologically-based post-fire management principles, including protecting large-diameter trees and fire refugia, anticipating future fuel accumulation, maintaining stabilizing fire-vegetation feedbacks, adjusting species composition and structure for future fire regimes and climate. In large burned landscapes, these principles can be implemented through post-fire landscape evaluations and prescriptions, helping to adapt landscapes to future conditions.

Conifer seedling demography reveals mechanisms of initial forest resilience to wildfires in the northern Rocky Mountains

Kyra Clark-Wolf et al.

Summary: By studying the post-fire seedling demography, this research reveals the mechanisms of post-fire tree regeneration and forest resilience to wildfires. The study found that moderate post-fire climate conditions and diverse microsites facilitate the regeneration of conifer seedlings and enhance their survival.

Structural diversity and development in active fire regime mixed-conifer forests

Julia K. Berkey et al.

Summary: The suppression of fires in U.S. forests for nearly a century has hindered researchers' ability to study forest structural development in mixed-conifer ecosystems. By studying the impact of fire history and biophysical variables, researchers found that time since fire, frequency of fires, and biophysical factors play important roles in shaping forest structure and diversity in active fire regimes.

Prescribed fire shrub consumption in a Sierra Nevada mixed-conifer forest

Melissa R. Jaffe et al.

Summary: This study examined the spatial patterns and drivers of shrub consumption in prescribed fires in mixed-conifer forests in the Sierra Nevada. The findings showed that increased local percent cover of coarse woody materials was associated with increased shrub consumption. This information can help prescribed fire managers anticipate shrub consumption outcomes under similar conditions.

Wildfire and climate change adaptation of western North American forests: a case for intentional management

Paul F. Hessburg et al.

Summary: Forest landscapes in western North America have undergone significant changes in the past two centuries, accelerated by climate warming in recent decades. Historical forest management practices are no longer suitable for modern realities, requiring new strategies to address ecological and social challenges. Indigenous tribes' past and present management practices offer insights for resilient forest conditions, but further research and experimentation are needed.

Ecological resilience and vegetation transition in the face of two successive large wildfires

Zachary L. Steel et al.

Summary: The study found that topography and vegetative structure influenced the resistance of forests to repeated high-severity wildfires, with environmental heterogeneity playing an important role. Vegetation structure and composition in areas experiencing repeated high-severity fires are consistent with a transition to persistent shrubland or hardwood forests.
