13,000 Years of Fire History Derived From Soil Charcoal in a British Columbia...
ABSTRACT Little is known regarding the fire history of high-latitude coastal temperate rain forests in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of North America. While reconstructing... -
Late Holocene Glacial Activity at Bromley Glacier, Cambria Icefield, Northern...
ABSTRACT Retreating and downwasting glaciers in the British Columbia Coast Mountains are exposing the remains of forests buried during Holocene-age glacial advances. Despite... -
Intertidal Resource Use Over Millennia Enhances Forest Productivity
Human occupation is usually associated with degraded landscapes but 13,000 years of repeated occupation by British Columbia’s coastal First Nations has had the opposite effect,... -
Ecological Legacies of Anthropogenic Burning in a British Columbia Coastal Te...
ABSTRACT Aim: Few long-term fire histories have been reconstructed in coastal temperate rain forests, and little is known regarding the spatial and temporal characteristics of... -
Ecological Legacies of Fire Detected Using Plot-Level Measurements and LiDAR ...
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession following fire disturbances has long been of interest in ecology, but the evolution of landscape pattern and structure following low-severity... -
A Forest in Transition: The Role of Small-Scale Disturbances
ABSTRACT Large and small scale natural disturbances shape and define characteristics of forest stands. This research examines the response of a western hemlock stand following... -
Seven Hundred Years of Human-Driven and Climate-Influenced Fire Activity in a...
ABSTRACT While wildland fire is globally most common at the savannah grassland ecotone, there is little evidence of fire in coastal temperate rainforests. We reconstructed fire... -
Fire Exclusion Destroys Habitats for At-Risk Species in a British Columbia Pr...
ABSTRACT Fire exclusion and suppression has altered the composition and structure of Garry oak and associated ecosystems in British Columbia. The absence of frequent low... -
Old-Growth Forest Structure in a Low-Productivity Hypermaritime Rainforest in...
ABSTRACT Dendrochronological analyses were conducted across a gradient of productivity and soil drainage quality characterizing four vegetation types in a low-productivity... -
The Right to Burn: Barriers and Opportunities for Indigenous-Led Fire Steward...
ABSTRACT Indigenous fire stewardship enhances ecosystem diversity, assists with the management of complex resources, and reduces wildfire risk by lessening fuel loads. Although... -
Conservation of Earth's Biodiversity is Embedded in Indigenous Fire Stewardship
ABSTRACT Increasingly, severe wildfires have led to declines in biodiversity across all of Earth’s vegetated biomes [D. B. McWethy et al., Nat. Sustain. 2, 797–804 (2019)].... -
Western Canada’s New Wildfire Reality Needs a New Approach to Fire Management
INTRODUCTION Wildfire seasons in Canada are changing. Recent uncharacteristically large and intense wildfires have exceeded abilities for fire suppression, highlighting the... -
The North American Tree-Ring Fire Scar Network
ABSTRACT Fire regimes in North American forests are diverse and modern fire records are often too short to capture important patterns, trends, feedbacks, and drivers of... -
Assessing Changes in Global Fire Regimes
ABSTRACT Background: The global human footprint has fundamentally altered wildfire regimes, creating serious consequences for human health, biodiversity, and climate. However,... -
A Roadmap for Pyrodiversity Science
ABSTRACT Background: Contemporary and projected shifts in global fire regimes highlight the importance of understanding how fire affects ecosystem function and biodiversity... -
Wildfire Research and Extension
In 2017 and 2018, British Columbia experienced unprecedented wildfire seasons. Over the course of both wildfire seasons, approximately 2.6 million hectares of forest lands...
