Fire and Avian Ecology in North America: Process Influencing Pattern
We summarize the fi ndings from 10 subsequent chapters that collectively review fi re and avian ecology across 40 North American ecosystems. We highlight patterns and future research topics that recur among the chapters. Vegetation types with long fi re-return intervals, such as boreal forests of Canada, forests at high elevations, and those in the humid Pacifi c Northwest, have experienced the...
متن کاملFuels and fire behavior dynamics in bark beetle-attacked forests in Western North America and implications for fire management
Declining forest health attributed to associations between extensive bark beetle-caused tree mortality, accumulations of hazardous fuels, wildfire, and climate change have catalyzed changes in forest health and wildfire protection policies of land management agencies. These changes subsequently prompted research to investigate the extent to which bark beetle-altered fuel complexes affect fire b...
متن کاملMultiscale perspectives of fire, climate and humans in western North America and the Jemez Mountains, USA
Interannual climate variations have been important drivers of wildfire occurrence in ponderosa pine forests across western North America for at least 400 years, but at finer scales of mountain ranges and landscapes human land uses sometimes over-rode climate influences. We reconstruct and analyse effects of high human population densities in forests of the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico from ca 13...
متن کاملFire and insects in northern and boreal forest ecosystems of North America.
Fire and insects are natural disturbance agents in many forest ecosystems, often interacting to affect succession, nutrient cycling, and forest species composition. We review literature pertaining to effects of fire-insect interactions on ecological succession, use of prescribed fire for insect pest control, and effects of fire on insect diversity from northern and boreal forests in North Ameri...
متن کاملAdmixture in North America
The history of North America has been marked by the encounter of populations from different continents. The discovery of the New World began a period defined by human migrations at a much larger scale than in previous history. This movement of people, voluntary or forced, changed profoundly the human landscape. As populations came into contact, admixture followed in varying degrees depending on...
