High variability in historical fire patterns characteristic to mixed-severity fire regimes is expected to have contributed to a structurally heterogeneous landscape throughout much of the forested ecosystems of the western United States. After more than a hundred years of fire e…
Climate models predict increases in temperature and hydrologic variability for the remainder of the 21st century, threatening California’s fire-prone ecosystems. To gain a better understanding of future climate-fire-environment dynamics, it is important to study how biomass burn…
Over the past several decades, there has been an increase in wildfire activity in California. These wildfires have occurred during a period of warmer temperatures and lower precipitation than the averages of the 20th century. To improve understanding of the response of fire acti…
