Understanding disturbance and recovery of forest landscapes is a challenge because of complex interactions over a range of temporal and spatial scales. Landscape simulation models offer an approach to studying such systems at broad scales. Fire can…

Interior West forests include a wide variety of forest types with unique characteristics. Disturbances, primarily by fire, tended to be both cyclic and stochastic, and in some cases equilibrium landscapes were the result. The strongest case for…

Fire has had a major role in shaping the forested landscapes of the American West. In recent decades, major efforts to quantify that role have been made, and characteristics of historic fire regimes have been defined: frequency, magnitude,…

Crown fires create broad-scale patterns in vegetation by producing a patch mosaic of stand age classes, but the spread and behavior of crown fires also may be constrained by spatial patterns in terrain and fuels across the landscape. In this review…

The Kirtland's warbler (Dendroica kirtlandii) is an early succession, area-sensitive species seldom found in stands smaller than 30 to 40 ha. This warbler occupies dense jack pine (Pinus banksiana) stands where trees are from 6 to 23 years old and…

Fire exclusion in the dry forests of the western US has created homogenous landscapes of continuous forest canopy and fuels. When these conditions are coupled with climate-driven increases in wildfire size, the landscape is increasingly…
