In late August 1996, a wildfire swept across the sagebrush-dominated foothills above Boise, Idaho. Fire impacts on infiltration and inter-rill erosion were examined 1 year following the fire with simulated rainfall. Densely vegetated north-facing…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Tetradymia glabrata (littleleaf horsebrush) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…

Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) is a keystone species in upper subalpine forests of many parts of the northern Rocky Mountains and Cascades in the United States and Canada. These diverse ecosystems have been declining in parts of its range because…

Heat generated during fire induces chemical oxidation of soil organic matter thereby altering carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) transformations. Prior soil fire history and soil moisture content at the time of heating can be confounding factors in the…

Wildfire is a major ecological process and management issue in the western U.S. The 2000, 2001 and 2002 fire seasons were some of the biggest in history with over 2 million ha burned annually. What happens when the rains come? Most wildfires create…

This third report in the FMF Natural Disturbance Program research series looks at fire patterns within riparian zones at four different scales using three different sets of data and methods. The report is essentially an integrated synthesis of all…

Fire has an important role in the sensory ecology of many animals. Using acoustic cues to detect approaching fires may give slow-moving animals a head start when fleeing from fires. We report that aestivating juvenile reed frogs (Hyperolius…

This paper demonstrates protocols to analyze and illustrate trends in the long-term effects of repeated fire hazard reduction entries at broad state-level scales. The objectives of this analysis are to determine the effectiveness of two stand…

In this book, Nutt discusses why half of all decisions that are made fail, how a decision becomes a fiasco, and how failures can be prevented. Failed decisions occur as a result of three blunders (rushing to judgment, misusing resources, and…

Stream temperature and channel disturbance are two potentially important controls on the distribution and persistence of fish populations. Temperature regulates primary physiological processes that constrain the demographic response of populations…

The MODIS instrument on the NASA Terra satellite has been conducting routine global measurements of active fires and aerosol optical depths since late 2000. Currently, it takes more than 4 days to acquire MODIS data from the NASA DAAC Center, making…

The Northern Rockies Adaptation Partnership (NRAP) includes diverse landscapes, ranging from high mountains to grasslands, from alpine glaciers to broad rivers (fig. 1.1). This region, once inhabited solely by Native Americans, has been altered by…

Fire exclusion policies have affected stand structure and wildfire hazard in north American ponderosa pine forests. Wildfires are becoming more severe in stands where trees are densely stocked with shade-tolerant understory trees. Although forest…
