Exploring the social legacy of frequent wildfires: Organizational responses for community recovery following the 2018 Camp Fire

Year of Publication
2022
Publication Type

The increased global frequency and scale of impactful and destructive wildfires has necessitated the reimagination of recovery assistance in affected communities. Unequal experience with and access to resources to support recovery mean that organizations operating at different scales may provide varying types of assistance after fire, particularly in rural areas.

Roles and experiences of non-governmental organisations in wildfire response and recovery

Year of Publication
2021
Publication Type

Local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) play critical roles in providing immediate relief resources and long-term recovery support for communities after a disaster. Drawing on interviews with NGO representatives involved in three Northern California wildfires in 2017 and 2018, this study identifies challenges and opportunities for NGOs supporting wildfire relief and recovery.

Episodic occurrence of favourable weather constrains recovery of a cold desert shrubland after fire

Publication Type

1. Key to the long-term resilience of dryland ecosystems is the recovery of foundation plant species following disturbance. In ecosystems with high interannual weather variability, understanding the influence of short-term environmental conditions on establishment of foundation species is essential for identifying vulnerable landscapes and developing restoration strategies.

Wildfire severity and postfire salvage harvest effects on long-term forest regeneration

Year of Publication
2020
Publication Type

Following a wildfire, regeneration to forest can take decades to centuries and is no longerassured in many western U.S. environments given escalating wildfire severity and warming trends. Afterlarge fire years, managers prioritize where to allocate scarce planting resources, often with limited informationon the factors that drive successful forest establishment.

How does tree regeneration respond to mixed‐severity fire in the western Oregon Cascades, USA?

Year of Publication
2020
Publication Type

Dendroecological studies of historical tree recruitment patterns suggest mixed‐severity fire effects are common in Douglas‐fir/western hemlock forests of the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA, but empirical studies linking observed fire severity to tree regeneration response are needed to expand our understanding into the functional role of fire in this forest type.

Influence of fire refugia spatial pattern on post-fire forest recovery in Oregon’s Blue Mountains

Year of Publication

Publication Type

Context Fire regimes in many dry forests of western North America are substantially different from historical conditions, and there is concern about the ability of these forests to recover following severe wildfire. Fire refugia, unburned or low-severity burned patches where trees survived fire, may serve as essential propagule sources that enable forest regeneration.
