Abstract Amplified by warming temperatures and drought, recent outbreaks of native bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have caused extensive tree mortality throughout Europe North America. Despite their ubiquitous nature important effects on ecosystems, forest recovery following such disturbances is poorly understood, particularly across regions with varying abiotic conditions outbreak effects. To better understand post‐outbreak a topographically complex region, we synthesized data from...
Abstract Background Wildfires are increasing in size and severity forests of the western USA, driven by climate change land management practices during 20th century. Altered fire regimes have resulted a greater need for knowledge on best managing burned landscapes, especially instances where return to previous forested ecosystem is desired. We examined large wildfire from 2018 southern Colorado understand how post-fire logging influenced stand structure, fuels, vegetation, soil microsite...
