An LSM-tree (log-structured merge-tree) is a hierarchical, orderly and disk-oriented data storage structure which makes full use of the characteristics of disk sequential writing, which are much better than those of random writing. However, an LSM-tree c...

Shifting fire regimes alter forest structure assembly in ponderosa pine forests and may produce structural heterogeneity following stand-replacing fire due, in part, to fine-scale variability in growing environments. We mapped tree regeneration in eighte...
