Data for: Simulated postfire tree regeneration suggests reorganization of Greater Yellowstone forests during the 21st century

Tree regeneration underpins forest resilience, but how postfire tree regeneration will change with future climate and fire regimes is difficult to anticipate. Areas of sparse and failed postfire tree regeneration have been documented in western US forests, but how future recovery pathways will unfold is uncertain. We conducted a simulation study in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE; United States) using a process-based model, iLand, to ask how rates, composition, and spatial patterns of postfire tree regeneration vary with 21st-century climate. Subalpine forest and fire dynamics were simulated through 2100 under four climate scenarios, 2 × 2 factorial of aridity (wet and dry) and temperature (warm and hot), in five GYE landscapes. We tallied postfire tree seedling density by species in simulated fires (> 400 ha) at five years postfire. This data set contains three data sets to reproduce analyses for changes rates of regeneration, proportion of burned cells with regeneration failure, and postfire reorganization pathways. We include the data and R scripts used for these three analyses in the publication associated with these data.
