Serra-Diaz, JM, C Maxwell, MS Lucash, RM Scheller, DM Laflower, AD Miller, AJ Tepley, HE Epstein, KJ Anderson-Teixeira and JR Thompson. 2018. Disequilibrium of fire-prone forests sets the stage for a rapid decline in conifer dominance during the 21st century. Scientific Reports 8:6749. doi:10.1038/s41598-018-24642-2 |
A big thanks to those who attended the wrap-up webinar!
Hi all, I re-recorded the audio for the webinar, and the recording is available here. However, viewing it requires downloading it, and the file size is quite large. Feel free to follow up with me if you have any questions. |

REU student is finishing up this fall
Our REU student Terry Marcey is working on his first manuscript. He is working with Maria Lopez to publish her MS work, and is getting help from Drs. Lucash, Shatford, Hibbs and Thompson on (hopefully) his first paper! |
New Klamath paper out in GCB!
Our first Klamath paper is out and published in Global Change Biology! We found: - Postfire conifer recruitment was limited to a narrow window,
with 89% of recruitment in the first 4 years. - With increasing climatic water deficit, higher propagule pressure (i.e.,
smaller patch sizes for high-severity fire) was needed to support a given
conifer seedling density. - Under a more severe prospective warming scenario, more than half of the area currently capable of supporting montane
conifer forest could become subject to minimal conifer regeneration in even
moderate-sized (10s of ha) high-severity patches by the end of the century. Vulnerability to forest loss through altered postfire recovery dynamics in a warming climate in the Klamath Mountains Alan J. Tepley, Jonathan R. Thompson, Howard E. Epstein, and Kristina J.

A big thank you to those who attend the workshop!
Our first stakeholder workshop took place April 18th in Yreka, CA at the Klamath National Forest Headquarters. Thank you to those of you who attended! Next steps will be announced shortly. |
Hear about our project on OPB radio!
Our project was featured on OPB radio, where we discuss the overall rationale for our study. |
