• Landscape-level interactions of prefire vegetation, burn severity, and postfire vegetation over a 16-year period in interior Alaska (2005, background): “1Corresponding author (e-mail: D.Verbyla@uaf.edu). and survivorship has a strong influence on successional trajectories and the subsequent long-term forest composition (Arsenault 2001; Johnstone et al. 2004).”
• Ecosystem responses to recent climate change and fire disturbance at northern high latitudes: observations and model results contrasting northern Eurasia and North America (2007, background): “Greater exposure of mineral soil after high severity fires may also allow for increased recruitment and growth of broadleaf deciduous trees (Johnstone et al 2004).”
• Wildfire promotes broadleaves and species mixture in boreal forest (2009, unknown): “This range of years allows enough time for tree establishment, since the majority of trees establish within 5 years after a fire (Johnstone et al., 2004).”
• Fire Interval Effects on Successional Trajectory in Boreal Forests of Northwest Canada (2006, methodology): “The data for this study were collected from a series of permanent plots established in 1983 to monitor the long-term recovery of boreal forest vegetation after fire (Oswald and Brown 1990; Johnstone and others 2004).”
• Rapid mortality of Populus tremuloides in southwestern Colorado, USA (2008, background): “Mortality is typically density-dependent during the aggrading phase of aspen stand development, with a positive relationship between initial density and mortality (Shepperd, 1993; Johnstone et al., 2004).”
• High and dry: post‐fire tree seedling establishment in subalpine forests decreases with post‐fire drought and large stand‐replacing burn patches (2016, background): “…severe fires are followed by suitable climate conditions [e.g. the 1988 Yellowstone fires (Turner et al ., 1997; Romme et al ., 2011) or 20th-century boreal forest fires (Johnstone et al ., 2004)], but consequences for tree regeneration when large fires are followed by drought are less clear.”
• Satellite observations of high northern latitude vegetation productivity changes between 1982 and 2008: ecological variability and regional differences (2011, background): “In Alaska this intermediateaged productivity peak has been related to greater cover of deciduous trees (Johnstone et al 2004, Beck et al 2011a, Alexander et al 0000).”
