Forest fire [PDF]

, 2020
Trees capture carbon from the atmosphere and turn it into wood. They hang onto that carbon for a very long time, even if they're turned into wood products.

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

Sugar alcohols in plants: implications for enhancing tree seedlings drought tolerance and production strategies

BMC Plant Biology
Sugar alcohols, also known as glycitols, are reduced derivatives of sugars with multiple hydroxyl groups attached to the sugar skeleton. While classified as carbohydrates, they differ from monosaccharides by lacking an aldehyde or keto group.

Is proportion burned severely related to daily area burned?

Environmental Research Letters, 2014
The ecological effects of forest fires burning with high severity are long-lived and have the greatest impact on vegetation successional trajectories, as compared to low-to-moderate severity fires.

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Mixed-severity fire regimes: Lessons and hypotheses from the Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion [PDF]

, 2011
Although mixed-severity fires are among the most widespread disturbances influencing western North American forests, they remain the least understood.

Using photovoice to understand community perceptions of firearm risks and protective factors among Asian Americans

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study used photovoice methodology to explore Asian Americans' perspectives on the root causes and protective factors of firearm violence in their communities. Photovoice provided a participatory platform for community members to document lived experiences and identify priorities for change.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Forest Fire Risk in Southeastern China Under Climate Change: Hydrothermal Drivers and Future Projections

Atmosphere
Forest fire regimes are undergoing systematic reorganization under climate change, particularly in monsoon–human coupled ecosystems such as Southeastern China, where risk dynamics remain poorly quantified. This study proposes a meteorology-driven machine

Vegetation, topography and daily weather influenced burn severity in central Idaho and western Montana forests

Ecosphere, 2015
Burn severity as inferred from satellite‐derived differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) is useful for evaluating fire impacts on ecosystems but the environmental controls on burn severity across large forest fires are both poorly understood and likely ...
