DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4879
Abstract: Abstract Disturbance legacies structure communities and ecological memory, but due to increasing changes in disturbance regimes, it is becoming more difficult to characterize disturbance legacies or determine how long they persist. We sought to quantify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2019.107668
Abstract: Abstract Microclimate in the understory of forests can be an important mediating influence for ecological attributes such a vegetation composition, wildlife habitat, fuel moisture, and downed wood and forest floor decomposition processes. Several tools exist… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.01.008
Abstract: Abstract Wild and prescribed fire-induced injury to forest trees can produce immediate or delayed tree mortality but fire-injured trees can also survive. Land managers use logistic regression models that incorporate tree-injury variables to discriminate between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.07.025
Abstract: Abstract Climate change has emerged as a major threat to biodiversity, but there have been few assessments of variability in sensitivity to climate across species’ ranges. We examined the sensitivity of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.09.005
Abstract: Abstract Contemporary wildfires in southwestern US ponderosa pine forests can leave uncharacteristically large patches of tree mortality, raising concerns about the lack of seed-producing trees, which can prevent or significantly delay ponderosa pine regeneration. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.04.058
Abstract: Abstract Plant community resilience in frequent-fire forests of western North America has been compromised by over a century of fire exclusion. However, there are several western National Parks where fires have been reintroduced over the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118037
Abstract: Abstract Warming climate in U.S. forests may limit future viability of dominant high-elevation species at their lower elevation range limits but favor more drought-adapted sympatric species, potentially contributing to species distribution changes. Adaptive management may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.118923
Abstract: Abstract Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests are increasingly experiencing high-severity, stand-replacing fires. Whereas alterations to aboveground ecosystems have been extensively studied, little is known about soil fungal responses in fire-adapted ecosystems. We implement a chronosequence… read more here.
