In this talk I will evaluate the satellite-based record of wildfire in the western US from 1984 through 2020, a period when annual burned areas in the region increased by over 300 percent. I will show that this increase in area burned is mostly due…

Context
Montane grasslands and forest-grassland ecotones are unique and dynamic components of many landscapes, but the processes that regulate their dynamics are difficult to observe over ecologically relevant time spans.
Objectives
We aimed to…
