Fine-scale factors influence fire regimes in mixed-conifer forests on three high mountains in Mexico
The authors characterized the historical fire regimes of three parallel, but isolated mountains in the same range to assess potential fire synchrony between sites and determine the effects of climate, specifically ENSO, on regional fire occurrence.
The authors produced a model to predict a spatially explicit map of future fire probability and fire frequency based on climate projection models across the U.S.
The authors estimated the projected increase in the mean annual lighting flash rate based on global climate models of convective available potential energy (CAPE) and precipitation from 2079-2088.
Using the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS), the authors examined the effects of projected climate scenarios on future forest trajectories of ponderosa pine ecosystems in the Rodeo-Chediski Fire, and they further examined the potential effects of management strategies, including prescribed fire, to mitigate climate effects and increase resilience.
The authors assessed potential future trajectories of forest stand structure in treated and untreated sites within the Rodeo-Chediski fire in response to multiple scenarios of climate change using the Climate-Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS).
The authors examined the effects of initial fire severity on subsequent fire severity and also how the pattern of burn severity patches is affected by initial burn conditions.
The authors examined potential future (2041-2070) trends and spatial patterns of wildfire across the continental U.S. using downscaled regional climate change scenarios.
The authors looked at the relationships between a diverse set of standard (i.e. temperature and precipitation) and biophysical variables related to water balance and fire danger indices to detect their relationships with the interannual variability of area burned derived from the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity dataset (1984 – 2010).
The authors assessed the climate conditions preceding and during a period of intense fire activity across the western U.S. in the summer of 1910. They further evaluated other large regional fire years to determine if analogous climate conditions occurred during those periods of high fire activity.
The authors modeled the effects of wilderness on the fire size distribution along forest gradients, while accounting for the effects of topography, weather, and climate.
