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

Risk assessment is often viewed as a logical, cause-effect process that uses mathematics and gives little credence to feelings. Without discounting the need for a rational approach to categorizing risk analysis, the authors show how affect, feelings…

Powerpoint presentation about direct and indirect effects of fire on fish populations. Presented at the Fire and Aquatic Ecosystems Workshop, April 22-24, 2002 in Boise, Idaho.
Year Published:
Fire played an important role in maintaining and creating conditions suitable for native flora and fauna in the forests of western North America. Recent coarse filter conservation strategies have advocated creating future landscapes that incorporate…

This edited book is an excellent resource for those who wish to probe deeper into the state of the art research on emerging issues in judgment and decision making. The editors’ stated purpose is to provide “fresh perspectives on decision making”.…

While technology has provided the means for achieving unprecedented control over land, air, and sea, it has also become increasingly complex. As a result of this complexity, disasters are difficult to predict, and they are even more difficult to…

While the importance of riparian systems in the northern Rocky Mountains as sources of productivity and diversity is recognized, there is little information about the interaction between pattern and process. To sustain these areas, we need to…

A large number of lightning-caused fires burned across the western United States during the summer of 2000. In a previous study, the authors determined that a simple index of low-level moisture (85-kPa dewpoint depression) and instability (85-50-…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Cynoglossum officinale (houndstongue) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, invasiveness of the species, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and…

Public debate on postfire logging has intensified in recent years, particularly since passage of the 'salvage rider' in 1995, directing accelerated harvest of dead trees in the western United States. Supporters of postfire logging argue that it is…

Residential development in fire-prone wildlands is occurring at an unprecedented rate. Community-based evacuation planning in many areas is an emerging need. In this paper we present a method for using microscopic traffic simulation to develop and…

The line transect method, its underlying assumptions, and the spatial patterning of down and standing pieces of dead wood were examined at the Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest in central Montana. The accuracy of the line transect method was not…
Year Published:
Topography, vegetation, and climate act together to determine the spatial patterns of fires at landscape scales. Knowledge of landscape-fire-climate relations at these broad scales (1,000s ha to 100,000s ha) is limited and is largely based on…
Year Published:
Burned-over big sagebrush sites dominated by perennial grasses supported fewer species of birds and fewer total number of birds than sites of unburned big sagebrush sites.

This state-of-knowledge review about the effects of fire on air quality can assist land, fire, and air resource managers with fire and smoke planning, and their efforts to explain to others the science behind fire-related program policies and…

On the Dude Fire Staff Ride, we retraced the steps of people who were under pressure. Some of those people handled pressure well. Some didn’t. For a richer understanding of the Dude Fire, we should focus on what happens when people are overcome by…
