Fire on the Landscape

As our climate changes and the earth warms, wildfire on our landscapes becomes more extreme, with climate conditions also creating a more extended wildfire season. Wildfire, however, is a natural part of the forest ecology and has an essential role in ecosystem health, vegetation structure, biodiversity, and reproduction. Do we need to learn to live with more wildfire, and how can adapting management priorities accommodate such a paradigmatic shift?
