Wildfire modifies the short- and long-term exchange of carbon between terrestrial ecosystems atmosphere, with impacts on ecosystem services such as uptake. Dry western US forests historically experienced low-intensity, frequent fires, patches across landscape occupying different points in fire-recovery trajectory. Contemporary perturbations, recent severe fires California, could shift historic stand-age distribution impact legacy uptake landscape. Here, we combine flux measurements gross...
Abstract Vegetation tolerance to drought depends on an array of site-specific environmental and plant physiological factors. This is poorly understood for many forest types despite its importance predicting managing vegetation stress. We analyzed the relationships between precipitation variability die-off in California’s Sierra Nevada introduce a new measure that emphasizes access subsurface moisture buffers. applied this metric severe 2012–2015 drought, show it predicted patterns tree...
Abstract Climate change is expected to increase drought intensity and frequency, which are commonly predicted will threaten the survival of forests. Most forest die‐off projections assume that recent tree mortality not alter severity during subsequent droughts. We tested this assumption by comparing in semi‐arid conifer stands California were exposed a single 2012–2015 (“ 2nd Drought Only ”) with experienced both 1999–2002 Both Droughts ”). quantified as reduction satellite observed...
Abstract Warmer temperatures and severe drought are driving increases in wildfire activity the western United States, threatening forest ecosystems. However, identifying influence of fire severity on tree cover loss (TCL) is challenging using commonly used categorical metrics. In this study, we quantify regional trends wildfire-driven TCL as product annual burned area, average exposure (pre-fire cover), (relative cover). We quantified these with Landsat-based 30 m resolution datasets for...
Regional and global environmental challenges have become increasingly complex require broader solutions than a single discipline can provide. Although there is growing need for interdisciplinary research, many graduate education programs still train students within the confines of particular or specialty. The Ridge 2 Reef research traineeship program at University California, Irvine, aimed to provide transferable skill training prepare from different disciplines address current future...
