Habitats or environmental factors that convey spatial and temporal resistance and/or resilience to biotic communities that have been impacted by biophysical disturbances may be called refugia. Most refugia in rivers are characterized by extensive…

We present a narrative account of case studies of the recovery of flowing water systems from disturbance, focusing on the investigators' conclusions about recovery time and the factors contributing to recovery. We restrict our attention to case…

Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) has received little management emphasis except in the past 10 years. Silvicultural treatment of whitebark pine is starting to draw increased interest as attention is focused on the species and its potential…

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

Includes 52 papers and 14 poster synopses that present current knowledge about ecosystems where whitebark pine and associated flora and fauna predominate. This was the first symposium to explore the ecology and management of these ecosystems, which…

Organizations often suffer because workers and managers avoid embarrassment by turning a blind eye toward mistakes. This book focuses on errors that are consciously buried in order to avoid situations that might damage individual reputations. Using…

This chapter overviews the history of hazard management in the United States, and defines what constitutes a “disaster” by federal standards. Popkin provides a history of federal and state policies and programs established and maintained in the…

Ecosystem disturbances produce changes in macrobenthic community structure (abundances, biomass, and production) that persist for a few weeks to many decades. Examples of disturbances with extremely long-term effects on benthic communities include…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Vaccinium ovalifolium (ovalleaf huckleberry) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Taxus brevifolia (Pacific yew) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the species'…
Year Published:
Ammonium-based fire retardants are important in managing wildfires, but their use can adversely affect water quality. Their entry, fate, and impact were studied in five forest streams. Initial retardant concentrations in water approached levels…

Maintaining an ecosystem shaped primarily by natural geological and ecological processes is a primary goal in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) (Houstori 1971). Thus, one important question about the fires of 1988 is whether they were really natural:…

Thirty-day forecasts of fire potential are needed, and can be computed using a variety of monthly fire weather indices. But which indices are most related to monthly fire severity? Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Salix lutea (yellow willow) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the species' taxonomy…
Year Published:
Over the past three days we have been presented with the results of a most impressive quantity and quality of research on the effects of fire on watersheds. My attempt to summarize these papers will hardly do them justice, but hopefully will…

Adjacent headwater streams were monitored for postfire shade, summer streamflow and maximum water temperature following the 40,000 ha Silver Complex fire in southern Oregon. Average postfire shade (30 percent) for the three streams was considerably…

Selected forage species were sampled during the first and second summers after autumn prescribed burning of three sites in southeastern Idaho. They were analyzed for in vitro dry matter digestibility, protein, calcium, and phosphorus. This aspen…

Few studies have examined the effect of fire on the aquatic biota, and none has adequately addressed major aspects of aquatic ecosystem function. Most of the research has examined the effects of fire on water chemistry (Schindler et al. 1980,…

Shrub frequency, cover, and height, and herb frequency and cover were measured on plots from two Douglas-fir habitat types in three cutting units. The plots were measured prior to helicopter yarding and broadcast burning and then 1, 2, 5, and 10…
