Forests store approximately half of all terrestrial carbon and are crucial to global biogeochemical cycles such as water, nitrogen, and carbon. A key component of mitigating carbon emissions and climate change is the preservation of forested landscapes and reforestation. Forests additionally provide other valuable ecosystem services, such as water purification and retention, air purification, as well as timber, food, and medicine. Forests, and their ecosystem services, are often fundamentally structured by disturbance events such as fire, drought, and insect outbreaks. Disturbances are discrete events that alter the structure and function of an ecological system, on a scale relevant to its organization. These disturbances are an endogenous part of forest succession and have resulted in the evolution of unique assemblages of species that rely on disturbances to persist. Climate change alters the intensity and severity of disturbance regimes away from historical conditions. This alteration occurs either directly through changes to underlying processes that lead to disturbance or indirectly through changes in the composition and response of forests experiencing the disturbance. Disentangling these interactions requires separating out the underlying processes that drive disturbance (to the extent possible) as phenomena are likely to be novel and non-linear under future conditions.Humans are interlocked to and interspersed within the disturbances regimes of forests and therefore need to understand how they will behave in the future and what role humans will play in shaping them. Disturbances can have a wide range of negative economic and societal impacts on forest resources and the communities adjacent to them. As urban areas expand further, we will need to continually assess both 1) how we alter disturbance regimes and 2) our safety from their impacts. However, our ability to manipulate disturbance regimes can also restore historical ecosystem function, and increase the resilience of forests to change. For these reasons, forest managers, policy makers, and society at large need quantifications and forecasts of our interaction with forest disturbance. In this dissertation, I am to improve our ability to quantify and forecast forest disturbances and their ecological impact. This centers around interactions among climate, disturbance, society, and forests. I analyze this two forested landscapes; the first is the Mediterranean mixed conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada in California, United States. In the Sierra Nevada, I focus on understanding the role warming, drought, and forest densification have in amplifying outbreaks of the bark beetle, Dendroctonus brevicomis, and how these interactions will play out under future climates. The second study area is the Southern Appalachian Mountains in the states of Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina, United States. This area consists of humid mixed hardwood forest, historically maintained by frequent low-intensity fire. We investigate how the fire regime interacts with the novel ecosystem created by modern fire exclusion, how future climate will impact this fire regime, and how human management may shape the fire regime in the future.
