Accurate mapping of wildfires is critical to fire management. Technological advances in remotesensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) over the last decade have been widely incorporated into wildfire mapping and management, but neither have…

To facilitate delivery and use of the Fuels Planning: Science Synthesis and Integration Project's (Project) products, the Project team engaged in a series of technology transfer activities throughout the life of the project. These included…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Hieracium albiflorum (white hawkweed) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations…

Little is known about ponderosa pine forest ecosystem responses to restoration practices in the Northern Rocky Mountains, USA. In this study, restoration treatments aimed at approximating historical forest structure and disturbances included…

Many wildfire events have burned thousands of hectares across the western United States, such as the Bitterroot (Montana), Rodeo-Chediski (Arizona), Hayman (Colorado), and Biscuit (Oregon) fires. These events led to Congress enacting the Healthy…

A simulation system was developed to explore how fuel treatments placed in topologically random and optimal spatial patterns affect the growth and behaviour of large fires when implemented at different rates over the course of five decades. The…

United States wildland fire policy and program reviews in 1995 and 2000 required both the reduction of hazardous fuel and recognition of fire as a natural process. Despite the fact that existing policy permits managing natural ignitions to meet…

Cottonwoods are poplar trees that are well adapted to dynamic riparian, or streamside, zones throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Here we assess the influences of three prominent physical disturbances, floods, fire, and ice, on cottonwood population…

This article describes the whitebark pine tree and the tough environment it lives in, the hazards it faces, and how it fits the environment ecologically.

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Mertensia paniculata (tall bluebells) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations…

A detailed study of canopy fuel characteristics in five different forest types provided a unique dataset for simulating the effects of various stand manipulation treatments on canopy fuels. Low thinning, low thinning with commercial dbh limit, and…

Thousands of firefighters across the United States have been influenced by the first edition of “Managing the Unexpected”. In this second edition, the authors continue their analysis of high reliability organizations (HRO’s), which are organizations…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Artemisia campestris (field sagewort) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations…

Nearly everyone has wronged another. Who among us has not longed to be forgiven? Who has not struggled to forgive? Charles Griswold has written the first comprehensive philosophical book on forgiveness in both its interpersonal and political…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Betula glandulosa (bog birch) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations.…

We conducted laboratory and greenhouse experiments to determine whether charcoal derived from the ponderosa pine/Douglas-fir ecosystem may influence soil solution chemistry and growth of Koeleria macrantha, a perennial grass that thrives after fire…
Year Published:
Fire exclusion, especially in the dry forests (i.e. those dominated or potentially dominated by ponderosa pine) has most often altered tree and shrub composition and structure and, though often overlooked in many locales, the forest floor…
Year Published:
Millennial-scale records of forest fire provide important baseline information for ecosystem management, especially in regions with too few recent fires to describe the historical range of variability. Charcoal records from lake sediments and soil…

Responses of pond-breeding amphibians to wildfire: short-term patterns in occupancy and colonization
Wildland fires are expected to become more frequent and severe in many ecosystems, potentially posing a threat to many sensitive species. We evaluated the effects of a large, stand-replacement wildfire on three species of pond-breeding amphibians by…

The object of this paper is to show the intercorrelations existing between statistics of wildfires (occurrences: N; areas burned: A), climatic parameters (precipitation: P; temperature: T) and net primary productivity: NPP. To this purpose,…
