Researchers and Fire Managers Strengthen Ties—a collection of advances in managing fire, measuring fuels and smoke, co-producing science on prescribed fire and understanding how fire interacts with other disturbances.

New Comprehensive Resource on Past, Present and Future Fire Ecology—the latest broad synthesis on fire ecology for every major forest type in the U.S.

A Critical Analysis of Plans to Restore Forest Resilience—a review that asks whether planned forest management can effectively reduce wildfire risk to communities and create landscapes that are resilient to disturbance.
