Fire refugia are robust across Western US forested ecoregions, 1986–2021

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

In the Western US, area burned and fire size have increased due to the influences of climate change, long-term fire suppression leading to higher fuel loads, and increased ignitions. However, evidence is less conclusive about increases in fire severity within these growing wildfire extents.

Where and why do conifer forests persist in refugia through multiple fire events?

Changing wildfire regimes are causing rapid shifts in forests worldwide. In particular, forested landscapes that burn repeatedly in relatively quick succession may be at risk of conversion when pre-fire vegetation cannot recover between fires.

Repeated ﬁre altered succession and increased ﬁre behavior in basin big sagebrush–native perennial grasslands

Journal Article

The structure and composition of sagebrush-dominated ecosystems have been altered by changes in ﬁre regimes, land use, invasive species, and climate change. This often decreases resilience to disturbance and degrades critical habitat for species of conservation concern. Basin big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp.
