Years ago, at a workshop we held on changing wildfire risk in western Washington, I was struck by the analogy that preparing communities for megafires in our fuel-rich forests is similar to tsunami: rapid evacuation, because they can't be fought.

Many NAmerican forest types are experiencing similar demographic declines, with little/no reproduction. Examples include oak forests in CA and the Midwest, whitebark and western white pine in the West, cottonwoods in some dryland settings. Forests of the 'living dead' are all around us.
Forests may look quite resilient to changing conditions if trees are still standing, but if they're not regenerating there'll be nothing to replace the old trees as they die. They are dying on their feet
