Characterizing climate and fire‑driven habitat vulnerability for an old‑forest species

“Context Changes in climate and associated disturbance regimes are altering patterns of biodiversity by shifting macroenvironmental conditions and modifying the structure and composition of critical habitat. These threats require understanding the climate vul- nerability of species habitat to inform conservation planning….” Read HERE

An ecosystem resilience index that integrates measures of vegetation function, structure, and composition

“As ecosystem disturbances increase due to human induced global change, accurately quantifying ecosystem resilience has never been more critical. This study introduces a spatially explicit Ecosystem Resilience Index (ERI), that integrates vegetation function, structure, and composition recovery metrics” Read HERE

Predicting soil temperatures associated with reintroduction of prescribed burning in western coniferous forests

“Elevated soil temperatures resulting from reintroduction of prescribed fire into long unburnt stands have been associated with unintended tree mortality. Several models exist to predict soil temperatures resulting from soil heating by fire; however, data to develop and validate these models are limited” Read HERE
