Give seeds a chance? Opportunities and techniques for post‐fire reforestation using tree seeding

“Altered fire regimes and post-fire tree regeneration failures have the potential to drive forest cover losses throughout western North America, but management practices such as active reforestation may help address these challenges. Planting of nursery-grown tree seedlings currently accounts for the majority of active reforestation in the western United States. Direct tree seeding—an alternative approach…

Understanding household experiences with flooding in post-fire environments: risk perceptions, perceived drivers, and mitigation actions

“We analyse household survey data collected after multiple rainfall events that triggered flooding on and adjacent to the 2019 Museum Fire burn scar in Flagstaff, AZ, USA, to explore relationships between risk perceptions, drivers of flood risk, and mitigation actions in post- fire environments. We received 623 usable questionnaires (16% response rate) that were analysed…

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
