Trends in forest structure restoration need over three decades with increasing wildfire activity in the interior Pacific Northwest US

Year of Publication
2022
Publication Type

Disturbance, tree mortality, and implications for contemporary regional forest change in the Pacific Northwest

Year of Publication

Publication Type
Tree mortality is an important demographic process and primary driver of forest dynamics, yet there are relatively few plot-based studies that explicitly quantify mortality and compare the relative contribution of endogenous and exogenous disturbances at regional scales. We used repeated observations on 289,390 trees in 3673 1 ha plots on U.S.
