Perspectives: The pace and scale challenge: Leveraging wildfire footprintsto increase forest resilience to future high-severity fire

“‘Here, we operationalize prior conceptual calls by presenting a
framework that identifies opportunities to leverage recent wildfire footprints via three management pathways to increasing resistance to high-severity fire: create (use burned edges as containment lines to treat adjacent unburned forest), enhance (apply mechanical treatment and prescribed fire or wildfire managed for resource objectives to areas with one prior beneficial disturbance), and maintain (sustain high-resistance stands with recurring fire).”
