The authors modeled the potential shift in the frequency and intensity of lightning-caused fires and thunderstorm activity based on future climate scenarios of 2 X CO2 across the forested areas of the southwestern U.S.

The authors sampled the structure and composition of a ponderosa pine forest stand along a soil type and topographic gradient to assess changes since Euro-American settlement. The authors also simulated the future trajectory of the stand using ECOSIM through the year 2027.

The authors reconstructed spruce budworm infestations using tree ring chronologies from the year 1690 to present and examined the potential relationships between historic spruce budworm infestations and human land use changes and climate variation.

The authors examined the structure and composition of forest stands along environmental gradients in Grand Canyon National Park to classify forest communities and determine what potential changes to structure and composition occurred in these stands following Euro-American settlement.

The authors modeled the potential shift in fire season length based on future climate scenarios of 1 X CO2 and 2 X CO2 across the forested areas of Canada.

The authors correlated fire scars and tree-ring growth to assess potential relationships between fire and climate across pine forest ecosystems in the Southwest.

The authors documented the fire history of a ponderosa pine forest stand to understand the effects of land use change on fire frequency, and the subsequent effects of fire decline on the forest structure.

The author analyzed the age structure and spatial distribution of an old-growth ponderosa pine stand to determine patterns of historic regeneration.
