Mahood A, Koontz M, Balch J
Ecology
. 2022 Dec;
104(3):e3968.
PMID: 36571436
A key challenge in ecology is understanding how multiple drivers interact to precipitate persistent vegetation state changes. These state changes may be both precipitated and maintained by disturbances, but predicting...

Nature
. 2022 Feb;
602(7897):442-448.
PMID: 35173342
Night-time provides a critical window for slowing or extinguishing fires owing to the lower temperature and the lower vapour pressure deficit (VPD). However, fire danger is most often assessed based...

Iglesias V, Braswell A, Rossi M, Joseph M, McShane C, Cattau M, et al.
Earths Future
. 2021 Aug;
9(7):e2020EF001795.
PMID: 34435071
Losses from natural hazards are escalating dramatically, with more properties and critical infrastructure affected each year. Although the magnitude, intensity, and/or frequency of certain hazards has increased, development contributes to...

Oldfather M, Koontz M, Doak D, Ackerly D
Ecol Lett
. 2021 Feb;
24(4):772-780.
PMID: 33559296
The expectations of polar or upslope distributional shifts of species ranges in response to warming climate conditions have been recently questioned. Diverse responses of different life stages to changing temperature...

Nat Commun
. 2021 Jan;
12(1):129.
PMID: 33420082
The recent Californian hot drought (2012-2016) precipitated unprecedented ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) mortality, largely attributable to the western pine beetle (Dendroctonus brevicomis; WPB). Broad-scale climate conditions can directly shape tree...

Koontz M, North M, Werner C, Fick S, Latimer A
Ecol Lett
. 2020 Jan;
23(3):483-494.
PMID: 31922344
A 'resilient' forest endures disturbance and is likely to persist. Resilience to wildfire may arise from feedback between fire behaviour and forest structure in dry forest systems. Frequent fire creates...

Smithers B, Oldfather M, Koontz M, Bishop J, Bishop C, Nachlinger J, et al.
Am J Bot
. 2019 Nov;
107(2):239-249.
PMID: 31721149
Premise: Examining community turnover across climate gradients at multiple scales is vital to understanding biogeographic response to climate change. This approach is especially important for alpine plants in which the...

Ecol Evol
. 2018 Sep;
8(16):8043-8054.
PMID: 30250683
Predicting whether individuals will colonize a novel habitat is of fundamental ecological interest and is crucial to conservation efforts. A consistently supported predictor of colonization success is the number of...

PMID: 27339048
Topography can create substantial environmental variation at fine spatial scales. Shaped by slope, aspect, hill-position and elevation, topoclimate heterogeneity may increase ecological diversity, and act as a spatial buffer for...
