Conifer regeneration has declined in this era of megafires and drought conditions.  Are there management strategies that can increase regeneration of conifer forests?  Below are two sources of background information on the issue:

1. Megafires, drought and heat killing conifer seedlings in the US west, an article published in The Guardian
2. Reduced fire severity offers near-term buffer to climate-driven declines in conifer resilience across the western United States, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences.
