Spatially explicit models of seed availability improve predictions of conifer regeneration following the 2018 Carr Fire in northern California

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
For many conifer species in dry conifer forests of North America, seeds must be present for postfire regeneration to occur, suggesting that seed dispersal from surviving trees plays a critical role in postfire forest recovery. However, the application of
