Maintaining the resilience of ecological systems in an era of global change is a priority for management and conservation. In California, forests are currently threatened by a suite of disturbances that include altered fire regimes, legacy effects from timber harvesting, a warming and drying climate, chronic air pollution, and uncharacteristically severe attacks by insects and pathogens. Managing to preserve the characteristic structure and function of California forests under novel disturbance regimes requires a clear understanding of these forests' historical conditions as well as an understanding of the drivers of change in these forests. A major challenge of managing for resilience is the lack of quantifiable metrics to assess changes in a system's resilience over time. This dissertation uses a multi-timescale approach that quantifies changes in the structure and composition of California mixed-conifer forests since European settlement and suggests a framework for measuring and monitoring forest resilience. This work can be used to guide conservation and restoration activities with the goal of maintaining the characteristic structure and function of forests under changing disturbance regimes.
