Cross-scale spatial and temporal perspectives are important for studying contagious landscape disturbances such as fire, which are controlled by myriad processes operating at different scales. We examine fire regimes in forests of western North…

Forest management objectives continue to evolve as the desires and needs of society change. The practice of silviculture has risen to the challenge by supplying silvicultural methods and systems to produce desired stand and forest structures and…

Fire injury was characterized and survival monitored for 5,246 trees from five wildfires in California that occurred between 1999 and 2002. Logistic regression models for predicting the probability of mortality were developed for incense-cedar,…
Year Published:
North American sagebrush steppe communities have been transformed by the introduction of invasive annual grasses and subsequent increase in fire size and frequency. We examined the effects of wildfires and environmental conditions on the ability of…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Strix nebulosa (great gray owl) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations.…
Year Published:
Modelling and experiments have suggested that spatial fuel treatment patterns can influence the movement of large fires. On simple theoretical landscapes consisting of two fuel types (treated and untreated), optimal patterns can be analytically…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Salix discolor (pussy willow) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations.…
Year Published:
Fire managers need better estimates of fuel loading so they can more accurately predict the potential fire behavior and effects of alternative fuel and ecosystem restoration treatments. This report presents a new fuel sampling method, called the…

Traditional ecological knowledge within specific cultural and geographical contexts was explored during an interactive session at the 8th World Wilderness Congress to identify traditional principles of sustainability. Participants…

We tested the hypotheses that white pine blister rust (Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fisch.) damage in whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis Engelm.) stands leads to reduced (1) seed cone density, (2) predispersal seed survival, and (3) likelihood of Clark…

Spatial and temporal variability in cone production may influence post-disturbance succession, yet it is not well understood. We sampled 15-year old lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) stands (n = 16) that regenerated naturally after the…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Pyrola asarifolia (pink wintergreen) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations…

The 2nd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference: Fire Environment – Innovations, Management and Policy was held in Destin, FL, March 26-30, 2007. Following on the success of the 1st Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference, this conference was initiated in…

Science information for informing forest fuel management in dry forests of the western United States
Land managers need timely and straightforward access to the best scientific information available for informing decisions on how to treat forest fuels in the dry forests of the western United States. However, although there is a tremendous amount of…

Following the extensive 1988 fires in Yellowstone, a mosaic of high-density patches of fallen logs and regenerating lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm. ex Wats.) saplings developed in the landscape. Such patches could…

The moist forests of the Rocky Mountains typically support late seral western hemlock, moist grand fir, or western redcedar forests. In addition to these species, Douglas-fir, western white pine, western larch, ponderosa pine, and lodgepole pine can…

We evaluated agreement in the location and occurrence of 20th century fires recorded in digital fire atlases with those inferred from fire scars that we collected systematically at one site in Idaho and from existing fire-scar reconstructions at…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of supplemental feeding strategies on self-selected activity during wildland fire suppression.
METHODS: Seventy-six wildland firefighters were studied in three experiments for three fire…

The Monument Fire burned across a landscape with extensive but relatively low intensity fuel treatments that reduced severe fire effects. The area that burned in the Egley Complex included both extensive underburns and intensive, strategically…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Sphaeralcea grossulariifolia (gooseberryleaf globemallow) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire…
