Fuel reduction treatments are broadly implemented to reduce the risk of extreme wildfire, but research on the long‐term effectiveness and impacts of these treatments is lacking. In this study, we examined short‐ and long‐term (two and 15 years) changes in fuels and understorey vegetation after treatment in chaparral and oak‐dominated stands.
