This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Pleuraphis jamesii (galleta) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the species'…

Based on his earlier book, “Emotional Intelligence,” Goleman applies years of research to this practical guide on emotional intelligence in organizations. In the first part of the book, Goleman makes a “hard case for soft skills” by arguing that…

A broad-scale probabilistic model of forest fires, EMBYR, has been developed to simulate the effects of large fires burning through heterogeneous landscapes. Fire ignition and spread are simulated on a gridded landscape by (1) examining each burning…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Festuca altaica, Festuca campestris, Festuca hallii (Altai fescue, alpine rough fescue, plains rough fescue) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire…

A prime forest resource is clean water for downstream beneficial uses. Sediment from forests may impair those beneficial uses. Sedimentation by water erosion is rare unless road activities, timber harvesting, or fire disturb the forest. We have been…

This strategy is based on the premise that sustainable resources are predicated on healthy, resilient ecosystems. In fire-adapted ecosystems, some measure of fire use-at appropriate intensity, frequency, and time of year-should be included in…

Nitrogen fixing plants have been reported to play an important role in replacing N lost from soil in fire dominated ecosystems. Exclusion of fire from ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.)-Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco…

A study was initiated in 1995 to measure landscape changes in forest structures between 1900 and 1995. A systematic sampling system was used to collect data on three forested faces on the Bitterroot Front. Over 1,200 tree cores were taken on 216…

Spending on postfire emergency watershed rehabilitation has increased during the past decade. A west-wide evaluation of USDA Forest Service burned area emergency rehabilitation (BAER) treatment effectiveness was undertaken as a joint project by USDA…

It is now widely acknowledged that frequent low-intensity fires once structured many western forests. What is not generally recognized, however, is that most of those fires were purposefully set by native people, not started by lightning. Data from…

In 1974, two clearcuts, two shelterwoods, and two sets of eight group selections (equally divided between two elevation zones) were harvested on the Coram Experimental Forest in northwestern Montana. Four levels of tree and residue utilization were…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Achillea millefolium (western yarrow) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the species…

In the West, thinning and partial cuttings are being considered for treating millions of forested acres that are overstocked and prone to wildfire. The objectives of these treatments include tree growth redistribution, tree species regulation,…

Visitors to National Forests in Colorado, Idaho, and Wyoming were asked how their visitation rates would change with the presence of a high-intensity crown fire, prescribed fire, and a 20-year-old high-intensity fire at the area they were visiting.…

Fuel treatment activities are analyzed at the landscape scale by using both simulation and optimization. Simulating vegetative patterns and processes at landscape scales (SIMPPLLE), a stochastic simulation modeling system, is initially applied to…
Year Published:
In many western Montana ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) stands, fire suppression and past selective logging of large trees have resulted in conditions favoring succession to dense stands of shade-tolerant, but insect- and disease-prone Douglas-fir…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Gutierrezia sarothrae (broom snakeweed) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the species…

A symposium held September 15-18, 1997, in Provo, UT, and Sanpete County, UT, provided information on the ecology, management, resource values, and restoration of pinyon-juniper communities in the Interior Western United States. The conference was…
Year Published:
The development of mature juniper woodlands has often been associated with decreases in the herbaceous and shrub components of the community. This study focused on changes in species richness and diversity along a successional gradient at both the…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Pseudoroegneria spicata (bluebunch wheatgrass) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the…
