Experience with extreme weather events increases willingness-to-pay for climate mitigation policy
Fires that matter: Reconceptualizing fire risk to include interactions between humans and the natural environment
Increasing fire impacts across North America are associated with climate and vegetation change, greater exposure through development expansion, and less-well studied but salient social vulnerabilities. We are at a critical moment in the contemporary human-fire relationship, with an urgent need to transition from emergency response to proactive measures that build sustainable communities, protect human health, and restore the use of fire necessary…
Postglacial vegetation dynamics at high elevation from Fairy Lake in the northern Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Montana, USA
The postglacial vegetation and fire history of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is known from low and middle elevations, but little is known about high elevations. Paleoecologic data from Fairy Lake in the Bridger Range, southwestern Montana, provide a new high-elevation record that spans the last 15,000 yr. The records suggest a period of tundra-steppe vegetation prior to ca. 13,700 cal yr BP was followed by open Picea forest at ca. 11,200 cal …
Interpreting modern and fossil pollen data along a steep environmental gradient in northern Patagonia
Vegetation reconstructions rest on modern vegetation–pollen rain relationships and deductive reasoning. Establishing this relationship is a nontrivial task because differences among pollen assemblages are not necessarily proportional to differences in vegetation. This task is particularly challenging in Patagonia, where some tree taxa have indistinguishable pollen, and pollen grains can be transported long distances. In this study, we describe th…
Climate and local controls of long-term vegetation dynamics in northern Patagonia (Lat 41°S)
Patagonian vegetation has dramatically changed in composition and distribution over the last 16,000 yr. Although patterns of vegetation change are relatively clear, our understanding of the processes that produce them is limited. High-resolution pollen and charcoal records from two lakes located at lat 41°S provide new information on the postglacial history of vegetation and fire activity at the forest–steppe ecotone, and help clarify the relativ…
Holocene climate variability and vegetation-fire feedbacks in the Patagonian Andes (35-55S)
Holocene climate variability and environmental history at the Patagonian forest/steppe ecotone: Lago Mosquito (42°29'37.89''S, 71°24'14.57''W) and Laguna del Cóndor (42°20'47.22''S, 71°17'07.62''W)
Along the eastern Andes, a sharp ecotone separates steppe from North Patagonian forest dominated by Nothofagus spp. and Austrocedrus chilensis. The longitudinal position of the ecotone is largely determined by effective moisture, which in turn is partly governed by the strength and latitudinal position of the Southern Westerlies. As a result, changes in the ecotone provide an opportunity to examine past climate variations. Holocene environmental …
