Multiple entries into forest stands are often needed for fire hazard reduction and ecosystem restoration treatments in the Inland Northwest U.S.A. region. However, soil compaction occurring from mechanized harvesting operations often remains for…

Wildlife managers often resort to prescribed fire to restore sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems thought to have been affected by fire exclusion. However, a fire mosaic of burned and unburned areas may be tolerated by certain wildlife but can be…

In this paper we discuss four principles identified through recent research for effective citizen-agency communication and examine their use in accomplishing fire management objectives. Principles include the following: (1) effective communication…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Cercocarpus montanus (true mountain-mahogany) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Piranga ludoviciana (western tanager) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Eleocharis palustris (common spikerush) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…

The bird species in western North America that are most restricted to, and therefore most dependent on, severely burned conifer forests during the first years following a fire event depend heavily on the abundant standing snags for perch sites, nest…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Vulpia octoflora (sixweeks grass) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations.…

We grew from seed the exotic invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum L., collected from three elevation ecotypes in northern Nevada, USA. Plants were exposed to four CO2 atmosphere concentrations: 270, 320, 370, and 420 umol mol-1. After harvest on…

The purpose of this paper is to: 1) provide a range-wide assessment of whitebark pine health, 2) describe range-wide restoration strategies for conserving and restoring whitebark pine, 3) provide a brief managers guide for selecting…

Fuels management programs are designed to reduce risks to communities and to improve and maintain ecosystem health. The International Association of Wildland Fire initiated the 1st Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference to address development,…

The primary weakness in our current ability to evaluate future landscapes in terms of wildlife lies in the lack of quantitative models linking wildlife to forest stand conditions, including fuels treatments. This project focuses on 1) developing…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Artemisia pedatifida (birdfoot sagebrush) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…

This paper synthesizes available information on the effects of hazardous fuel reduction treatments on terrestrial wildlife and invertebrates in dry coniferous forest types in the West. We focused on thinning and/or prescribed fire studies in…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Patagioenas fasciata (band-tailed pigeon) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…

We examined the historical record of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) activity within Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, for the 25-years period leading up to the 1988 Yellowstone fires (1963-86) to determine how prior beetle…

Western United States forest wildfire activity is widely thought to have increased in recent decades, but surprisingly, the extent of recent changes has never been systematically documented. Nor has it been established to what degree climate may be…

A probabilistic spatial model was created based on empirical data to examine the influence of different fire regimes on stand structure of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) forests across a >500,000-ha landscape in Yellowstone…
