Active-fire landscapes demonstrate structural resistance to subsequent fire and drought

” In this study, we used overlapping airborne lidar datasets spanning active-fire landscapes in the Sierra Nevada, California, to evaluate how tree densities, clumping patterns, and height distributions changed during a

A systematic review and meta-analysis of post-fire seeding and herbicide treatment effectiveness for controlling exotic annual grasses in the sagebrush biome

“We asked if statistically based generalizations about the effects of pre-emergent herbicide and drill seeding of perennials, implemented following wildfires when threats of annual-grass invasion are greatest, could be made

Burning questions answered: New review examines 30 years of fuel treatment effects on wildfire severity

“More high-severity wildfire is occurring in the U.S. West and affecting people and forests in challenging ways. In places where mitigating high-severity wildfire is desirable, returning low-severity fire through fuel

Two More Chains: What did We Learn in 2025

“This issue of Two More Chains reflects a year that tested us in the wildlandfire community in new, familiar, and sobering ways. We highlight lessonsfrom assault-related incidents over the past

Wildfire research and mental health: impacts, reflections, and a call to action

“We highlight the mental health risks of conducting wildfire research, in which both direct and secondary traumatic experiences can often be compounded by feelings of climate anxiety and ecological grief.”

What determines the effectiveness of Pinyon-Juniper clearing treatments? Evidence from the remote sensing archive and counter-factual scenarios

“Here, we evaluated PJ reduction treatment outcomes leveraging large, curated databases of land treatments, new remotely sensed fractional cover time-series products, gridded climate and soils data, and analytical approaches adopted

Vulnerability of different Colorado plateau land types to drivers of change

“We assess management-relevant drivers of change—aridification, livestock grazing, invasive species, surface disturbance, and fire—across a patchwork of land management units and agencies on the Colorado Plateau, focusing on southeastern Utah,

Mapping ecological states in the upper Colorado River basin: implications for fire management

“We aimed to quantify ecological dynamics of two ES groups in the Upper Colorado River Basin from 1986 to 2022 through annual maps of ecological states and assess potential drivers

Mapping predicted ecological states at landscape scales using remote-sensing data and machine learning

“Here, we extend these frameworks to larger landscapes with a machine learning approach that integrates large-scale, high-resolution vegetation data with identified ecological states from a data-driven state-and-transition model developed for
