3 CONTENTS ECOSPHERE VOLUME 8 NUMBER 7 JULY 2017 COVER PHOTO: Burning conditions during the 2014 Happy Camp Complex in the Klamath Mountains, Northern California, USA. Estes et al. (Ecosphere, Volume 8, Issue 5, Article e01794; doi: /ecs2.1794) found that of the weather variables analyzed, temperature inversions, common in the complex topography of the Klamath Mountains, showed the strongest association with fire severity.
