Funding was received from the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station(projects 1153,1398,and 1423 to JAL);the National Science Foundation(DEB#1542681 to JAL and colleagues);the Smithsonian Institution ForestGEO.Research was performed under a 5-year permit(2016–2020)from the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station.
Background:Baseline levels of tree mortality can,over time,contribute to high snag densities and high levels of deadwood(down woody debris)if fire is infrequent and decomposition is slow.Deadwood can be important for ...

Background:Snags(standing dead trees)are important biological legacies in forest systems,providing numerous resources as well as a record of recent tree mortality.From 1997 to 2017,we monitored snag populations in dro...

The reintroduction of fire to landscapes where it was once common is considered a priority to restore historical forest dynamics,including reducing tree density and decreasing levels of woody biomass on the forest flo...

Background: After their death, Scots pine trees can remain standing for decades and sometimes up to 200 years,forming long-lasting and ecologically important structures in boreal forest landscapes. Standing dead pine...
