Climate change and the eco-hydrology of fire: will area burned increase in a warming western USA?
Wildfire area is predicted to increase with global warming. Empirical statistical models and process-based simulations agree almost universally. The key relationship for this unanimity, observed at multiple spatial and temporal scales, is between…

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…

Mulching fuels treatments promote understory plant communities in three Colorado, USA, coniferous forest types
Mulching fuels treatments have been increasingly implemented by forest managers in the western USA to reduce crown fire hazard. These treatments use heavy machinery to masticate or chip unwanted shrubs and small-diameter trees and broadcast the…
