Drought, tree mortality, and wildfire in forests adapted to frequent fire
Scott L. Stephens,Brandon M. Collins,Christopher J. Fettig,Mark A. Finney,Chad M. Hoffman,Eric E. Knapp,Malcolm P. North,Hugh D. Safford,Hugh D. Safford,Rebecca Bewley Wayman +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the importance of moving beyond triage of dead and dying trees to making "green" (live) forests more resilient to climate change and highlight the need to move beyond triaging of dead or dying trees.

Paul F. Hessburg,Paul F. Hessburg,Carol Miller,Sean A. Parks,Nicholas A. Povak,Alan H. Taylor,Philip E. Higuera,Susan J. Prichard,Malcolm P. North,Brandon M. Collins,Matthew D. Hurteau,Andrew J. Larson,Craig D. Allen,Scott L. Stephens,Hiram Rivera-Huerta,Camille S. Stevens-Rumann,Lori D. Daniels,Ze’ev Gedalof,Robert W. Gray,Van R. Kane,Derek J. Churchill,R. Keala Hagmann,Thomas A. Spies,C. Alina Cansler,R. Travis Belote,Thomas T. Veblen,Michael Battaglia,Chad M. Hoffman,Carl N. Skinner,Hugh D. Safford,R. Brion Salter +30 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use evidence from ten ecoregions, spanning forests from Canada to Mexico, to review the properties of these forests that reinforced those qualities and highlight geographic similarities and differences in the structure and organization of historical landscapes, their forest types, and in the conditions that have changed resilience and resistance to abrupt or large-scale disruptions.
The Science of Firescapes: Achieving Fire-Resilient Communities.
Alistair M. S. Smith,Crystal A. Kolden,Travis B. Paveglio,Mark A. Cochrane,David M. J. S. Bowman,Max A. Moritz,Andrew Kliskey,Lilian Alessa,Andrew T. Hudak,Chad M. Hoffman,James A. Lutz,Lloyd P. Queen,Scott J. Goetz,Philip E. Higuera,Luigi Boschetti,Mike D. Flannigan,Kara M. Yedinak,Adam C. Watts,Eva K. Strand,Jan W. van Wagtendonk,John W. Anderson,B. J. Stocks,John T. Abatzoglou +22 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guiding principles to bridge diverse fire science efforts to advance an integrated agenda of wildfire research that can help overcome disciplinary silos and provide insight on how to build fire-resilient communities.
Forest Restoration and Fuels Reduction: Convergent or Divergent?
Scott L. Stephens,Michael Battaglia,Derek J. Churchill,Brandon M. Collins,Michelle Coppoletta,Chad M. Hoffman,Jamie M. Lydersen,Malcolm P. North,Russell A. Parsons,Scott M. Ritter,Jens T. Stevens +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed integrated planning that permits treatment design flexibility and a longer-term focus on fire reintroduction for maintenance, which can be achieved with both fire and mechanical treatments.

Spatially explicit measurements of forest structure and fire behavior following restoration treatments in dry forests
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of restoration driven, variable retention harvests on structural complexity, both of horizontal and vertical dimensions, and potential fire behavior were investigated using spatially explicit forest inventory data and a physics-based fire behavior model.
