Climate change and climatic extreme events are increasingly disturbing forest ecosystems. Monitoring disturbance impacts at scale is important to inform and drive forest conservation and adaptation efforts. There is a need for scalable approaches to monitor forest disturbances at scale.

While further study is needed to examine the long-term trajectory of redwood forests following high-severity fire, our study provides forest managers with sound expectations that resprouting will promote redwood persistence, though may be hindered in the future by extreme drought events.

Abstract The intensification of disturbance regimes due to climate change is a growing concern in boreal forests, yet the long‐term consequences for forest recovery remain poorly understood, as boreal successional dynamics unfold over a century or longer and exceed the length of available observational records.
