We examined home range size of Black-backed Woodpeckers (Picoides arcticus) in burned ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) / Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of southwestern Idaho during 2000 and 2002 (6 and 8 years following fire). Home…

This paper analyzes historic and contemporary documents about the Ten Standard Fire Orders in the Lessons Learned Center Library and elsewhere, to examine how justifications for these traditional safety rules have changed over time. Using ethical…

Hillside hollows which produced bulking debris flows in southwestern Idaho in 2003-2005 consistently show a stair-step morphology with vertical risers and planar, roughly horizontal treads. We propose a process model of step formation by plunging…

Threat from wildfire can be greatly minimized through proactive efforts that reduce and slow spread through use of green strips or fuel breaks, and decrease fire volatility by reducing fuel load. This results in greater safety to fire fighters and…
Year Published:
Alternative silvicultural treatments such as thinning can restore the productivity and diversity of forested watersheds and reduce wildfire hazards, but the hydrologic effects of these treatments are not well defined. We evaluated the effect of even…

1. This paper reviews and compares the effects of forest fire and timber harvest on mammalian abundance and diversity, throughout successional time in the boreal forest of North America.
2. Temporal trends in mammal abundance and diversity are…

Prescribed burning in Theodore Roosevelt National Park has played an important role in maintaining a natural ecosystem. However, changes in plant community dynamics caused by burning may have led to an invasion of weedy species such as Canada…

Comparisons between unburned sites, low-intensity fires, and high-intensity fires in this ponderosa pine-dominated community indicate that a majority of the species coverages and frequencies are unchanged regardless of burn treatment. Also, a…

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

These files contain the proceedings and poster papers from the International Association of Wildland Fire's Wildland Fire Safety Summit™ held in Missoula, Montana April 26-28, 2005. These proceedings contain the papers as submitted by the authors.…

Fire dramatically alters hydrologic processes in many regions of the world. Individual fires reduce vegetation and change soil characteristics, sometimes producing dramatic runoff events in the years shortly after a fire. The greatest determinant of…

This fieldbook, a compendium of 62 articles by consultants, facilitators and organizational psychologists, is organized into seven parts that describe in detail the skilled facilitator approach to running meetings and facilitating groups. This…

Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis Engelm.), an important component of high elevation ecosystems in the western United States and Canada, is declining due to fire exclusion, white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fisch.), and mountain pine…

The risks, uncertainties, and social conflicts surrounding uncharacteristic wildfire and forest resource values have defied conventional approaches to planning and decision-making. Paradoxically, the adoption of technological innovations such as…
Year Published:
The processes of vegetation change over time, or plant succession, are also the processes involved in plant community restoration. Restoration efforts attempt to use designed disturbance, seedbed preparation and sowing methods, and selection of…
Year Published:
The increasing size and severity of wildfires in the western United States has caused a corresponding increase in post-fire emergency erosion control activities. Hillslope treatments, such as broadcast seeding, mulching and installed barriers, are…
Year Published:
The increase in severe wildfires in recent years is due in part to an abundance of fuels in forests. In an effort to protect values at risk, and decrease the severity of wildfires, forest managers have embarked on a major program of fuel reduction.…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Symphoricarpos longiflorus (longflower snowberry) 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 Apocynum androsaemifolium (spreading dogbane) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…

In recent years, extreme climate has increasingly triggered record boreal wildfires. The year 2023 saw a significant surge in wildfire occurrences in Canada, far surpassing the historical record. In this study, multi-source data were utilized for a…
