Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

Creator:

Greaves, Heather E.

Abstract:

Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...
