Landscape Management Demonstration Areas

Title
Landscape Management Demonstration Areas
Abstract
Western US Forests are no longer resilient to disturbances such as wildfire and drought - Decades of fire suppression, intensive logging practices, and other factors have reduced heterogeneity and homogenized forests - Species composition has shifted from shadeâ€êintolerant, fireresistant to shadeâ€êtolerant, fireâ€êsensitive species - Structure has changed from a few large trees to many more medium to small trees, and - Primary driver of forest ecosystems, fire, has been largely removed. - Much of the forest landscape is susceptible to both uncharacteristic impacts from disturbance (mainly fire) and chronic stress from changing climate.
