DOI: 10.1093/forestry/cpaa007
Abstract: The mixed-conifer forests in California’s Sierra Nevada include species from several genera (Pinus, Abies, Pseudotsuga, Calocedrus and Sequoiadendron). These forests have complex disturbance regimes dominated by low to moderate severity fire that often resulted in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/forsci/fxz071
Abstract: Nine multipurpose silvicultural treatments, formulated as a synthesis of recently implemented prescriptions offered by forest managers, were simulated to evaluate their effectiveness at enhancing fire resistance. The Forest Vegetation Simulator was applied, within the BioSum… read more here.
