Tree spatial patterns in fire-frequent forests of western North America, including mechanisms of pattern formation and implications for designing fuel reduction and restoration treatments
Larson, Churchill
Restoring characteristic fire regimes and forest structures are central objectives of many restoration and fuel reduction projects. Within-stand spatial pattern is a fundamental attribute of forest structure and influences many ecological processes…

Bottom-up control of a northern Arizona ponderosa pine forest fire regime in a fragmented landscape
Ireland, Stan, Fulé
Fire regimes often vary at fine spatial scales in response to factors such as topography or fuels while climate usually synchronizes fires across broader scales. We investigated the relative influence of top-down and bottom-up controls on fire…

Conservation of pattern and process: developing an alternative paradigm of rangeland management
Fuhlendorf, Engle, Elmore, Limb, Bidwell
This article examines the question of how well the rangeland management profession has served conservation of patterns and processes that support multiple ecosystem services. We examine the paradigms under which rangeland management operates and…
