Testing methods for calibrating Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) diameter growth predictions
The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a growth and yield modeling system widely-used for predicting stand and tree-level attributes for management and planning applications in North American forests. The accuracy of FVS predictions for a range of tree and stand level attributes depends a great …

Incorporating Climate Sensitivity for Eastern United States Tree Species into the Forest Vegetation Simulator
Detecting climate-induced effects in forest ecosystems become increasingly important as more evidence of greenhouse-gas-related climate change were founded. The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is an important growth and yield model used to support management and planning on public forest lands …

Disentangling how climate change and forest management alter fuels and fire regimes in Sierra Nevada forests
Extreme wildfires are increasing in forests around the globe and releasing billions of tons of previously sequestered carbon into the atmosphere every year. In the California Sierra Nevada, wildfires have become more extreme in response to both climate change and historical fire suppression. To …
