🆕 in Ecosphere's "Vegetation Ecology" track: A hot & dry future may shake up Yellowstone forests—think fewer spruce, more fire-tolerant neighbors

📄Simulated postfire tree regeneration suggests reorganization of Greater Yellowstone forests during the 21st century

Conceptual figure of postfire reorganization pathways and photo representations of pre- versus postfire differences in stand structure and composition.

New paper out now in Ecosphere (esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...)! Forest landscape simulations in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem suggest that changes in postfire structure and composition, and not a conversion to non-forest, are the dominant response to future climate.

Pine plantations burn more severely & recover more slowly than other vegetation types. This is observed using the forest map (L) or the forest inventory (R), Spain

Relationship between fire severity (dNBR, x axis) and early postfire recovery (y axis) for the different vegetation types affected in the Bermeja, Culebra and Hurdes wildfires (Spain). A: based on the Spanish Forest Map (MFE) data; B: based on the Spanish National Inventory (IFN). Dashed lines correspond to global means.

The forest understory postfire here is an impressively dense thicket of ceonothus, tan oak and redwood samplings. This used to be a very open forest with sparse vegetation, but many of the old tan oaks and some dougfir died in fire, opening up the canopy for all the new growth. #CZULightningComplex

New Science Advances paper on the feedback loop between loss of snow feeding more wildfire, and wildfire resulting in earlier snowmelt. As to latter, in snow obs, under average conditions, snow melts earlier during 1st-yr postfire in 99%(!) of western snow zones.

Impact of current and warmer climate conditions on snow cover loss in burned forests
Wildfires are causing earlier snowmelt across the western US, and this effect would be exacerbated with projected warmer winters.

No flammable plants living in a flammable fuel bed:
Even young Chaparros (Curatella americana) & Alcornocos (Bowdichia virgilioides) survive postfire thanks to their low-flammability strategy (sensus dx.doi.org/10.1111/1365...), Llanos del Orinoco.

To collect these data, we visited some of the most remote corners of Yellowstone. By summer’s end, we hiked >150 miles (much of it off-trail) and climbed ~30,000 ft. This couldn’t have been done without the stellar work of Eileen Mavencamp, Zach Ausavich, and Madie DeMarco!!

The team after sampling an area that burned in the 1988 Yellowstone Fires but hasn’t yet come back as forest. Pictured (L-R): Nathan, Eileen, Zach, and Madie. The team standing beside two canoes before paddling out from a campsite on Yellowstone Lake to sample postfire forest recovery. Pictured (L-R): Eileen, Madie, Zach, and Nathan. Selfie time!
