Managing fire for more species: Landscape mosaics benefit plants and animals in Sierra Nevada forests
<p>In the dry, fire-adapted forests of California's Sierra Nevada - where yellow pine, mixed conifer, and red fir historically burned on frequent, low-to-moderate severity cycles - restoring historical fire regimes has been a guiding principle for ecological management. But most contemporary forests in this region are far from that benchmark. Instead, these forests have been shaped by decades of fire suppression, and increasingly, by megafires at the opposite extreme.</p> <p>Music courtesy of Souvenir Thread. </p> <p><a href="https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/80706">Read the Science You Can Use and access the related content on Treesearch</a>.</p>

Tipping the balance: Promoting beneficial fungi to keep a forest pathogen in check
<p>Armillaria solidipes, a naturally occurring fungus, is responsible for one of the most widespread root diseases in western North American forests. Armillaria root disease affects a broad range of tree species, and by the time visible symptoms appear, significant damage has often already occurred. Advances in a field of DNA sequencing known as metagenomics are now helping researchers develop strategies to manage this disease using information that has been beneath their feet all along.</p> <p>Music courtesy of Souvenir Thread. </p> <p><a href="https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/80509">Read the Science You Can Use and access the related content on Treesearch</a>.</p>

Restore ponderosa forests—and reduce fire risk? Study shows the path forward
<p>Forest managers are increasingly looking to restore ponderosa pine forests to more ecologically diverse conditions—forests with clusters of trees, openings, and multiple age classes instead of the evenly spaced, uniform stands produced by traditional forest<br /> management. **Music courtesy of Souvenir Thread. <a href= "https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/80565">Read the Science You Can Use and access the related content on Treesearch</a></p>
