	abstract = {This study characterizes changes in woody vegetation cover across the eastern United States from 1990 to 2020 and evaluates its association with the occurrence of large wildfires (i.e., {\textgreater}200 ha ({\textasciitilde}494 acres)). Although woody encroachment and canopy infilling have been partially linked to increased wildfire risk in the western US and Great Plains, large-scale trends in eastern U.S. woody vegetation—and their potential influence on wildfire risk—remain less well understood.},
