The normal fire environment - modeling environmental suitability for large forest wildfires using past, present, and future climate normals
We modeled the normal fire environment for occurrence of large forest wildfires (>40 ha) for the Pacific Northwest Region of the United States. Large forest wildfire occurrence data from the recent climate normal period (1971-2000) was used as…

Quantifying the effect of elevation and aspect on fire return intervals in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
The effect of topography on wildfire distribution in the Canadian Rockies has been the subject of debate. We suspect the size of the study area, and the assumption fire return intervals are distributed as a Weibull distribution used in many previous…

Impacts of fire radiative flux on mature Pinus ponderosa growth and vulnerability to secondary mortality agents
Recent studies have highlighted the potential of linking fire behaviour to plant ecophysiology as an improved route to characterising severity, but research to date has been limited to laboratory-scale investigations. Fine-scale fire behaviour…

Effects of fire radiative energy density dose on Pinus contorta and Larix occidentalis seedling physiology and mortality
Climate change is projected to exacerbate the intensity of heat waves and drought, leading to a greater incidence of large and high-intensity wildfires in forested ecosystems. Predicting responses of seedlings to such fires requires a process-based…
