The authors compared the forest composition and structure along three transects at similar latitude and elevation in the San Juan National Forest to determine if climate synchronized fire occurrence across the large regional area historically.

The authors tested the intermediate fire-productivity hypothesis across the world’s ecoregions that posit that fire is most common at the intermediate levels of aridity and productivity while either very arid or very productive ecosystems tend to decrease in flammability.

The authors simulated future fire behavior and forest structure under two future climate scenarios as well as the potential effects of restoration treatments on a stand in the Kaibab National Forest, Arizona, U.S.

The authors reconstructed the historic wildfire regime within the Southern Rockies Ecoregion and developed a model to both predict historic fire extent and project potential future fire extent under two climate change global circulation model scenarios, A2 (projects high increases in temperature) and B1 (projects lower temperature increases).

This article examines the relationship between vegetation and topography on prescribed fire severity and the effects on subsequent wildfire.

The authors quantified surface and canopy fuel structure and loading of ponderosa pine stands five years after a bark beetle outbreak.

The authors reconstructed the fire regime of a relict unharvested stand in a remote Mexican mixed-conifer forest and compared it to a previously published fire regime data from a similar site in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona. The authors tested the pyroclimatic hypothesis to understand the relative influence of climate on ecologically and climatically similar sites, but with differing cultural influences.

The authors investigated the relative influence of top-down climate controls versus bottom-up vegetation controls on the timing and spatial pattern of fire in a historically fragmented and patchy ponderosa pine landscape.

The authors quantified the structure and composition of old-growth conifer forest stands in northwestern Mexico. They related this information to fire regime history data from Fulé et al. (2012) to determine relationships between regional climate variability, fire and forest structure since approximately 250 years ago to today.

The authors reconstructed the historical fire regime of the Colorado Plateau region over the previous 1,416 years to examine changes in the fire regime in response to climate variation, specifically periods of drought, and compare models of area burned and fire frequency in relation to climate before and after approximately 1600 CE.
