Guidelines in the form of a six-step approach are provided for estimating volumes, oven-dry mass, consumption, and particulate matter emissions for piled logging debris. Seven stylized pile shapes and their associated geometric volume formulae are…

An environmental analysis has been prepared which describes and evaluates the management alternatives for the timber harvest and burning within the Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest (TCEF) project area. The project area lies within the headwaters…

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

Species descriptions for Betula nana and Betula glandulosa.

The Yellowstone fires of 1988 affected >250000 ha, creating a mosaic of burn severities across the landscape and providing an ideal opportunity to study effects of fire size and pattern on postfire succession. We asked whether vegetation…
Year Published:
Presents detailed age structure for two western larch stands that historically experienced frequent fires. Compares age structures of eleven ponderosa pine and western larch stands representing a broad range of sites that had frequent fires.…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Ambystoma macrodactylum (long-toed salamander) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, and fire management considerations. Information is also provided on the…
Year Published:
Spatially-varied hydrologic surface conditions exist on steep hillslopes after timber harvest operation and site preparation burning treatments. Site preparation burning creates low- and high-severity burn surface conditions or disturbances. In this…

This book focuses on the causes, consequences, and possible means of avoiding organizational accidents. While individual accidents are more frequent and often target the individual for blame, organizational accidents are deep rooted errors in the…

Acute toxicity tests were conducted with Hyalella azteca Saussure (an amphipod) exposed in soft and hard waters to three fire retardants (Fire‐Trol GTS‐R, Fire‐Trol LCG‐R, and Phos‐Chek D75‐F) and two foam suppressants (Phos‐Chek WD‐881 and Silv‐Ex…

Sediment influx to channel networks is stochastically driven by rainstorms and other perturbations, which are discrete in time and space and which occur on a landscape with its own spatial variability in topography, colluvium properties, and state…

To understand and avoid future calamities, decision makers must have a more accurate way of understanding past calamities. Most of what we know about calamities comes from eye witness accounts that favor relief efforts and damage reports rather than…

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

From the introduction... "The magnitude and intensity of recent fires heighten concerns regarding forest/ecosystem health, the potential loss of valuable wood fiber and private property, and the apparent threat to sensitive species. Such concerns…
Year Published:
In this study vegetation development is compared and contrasted following natural and logging disturbances in a major boreal river valley in Alberta. Permanent sample plots and releves were established and sampled for vegetation and landscape…
Year Published:
Water production from mountain watersheds depends on total precipitation input, the type and distribution of precipitation, the amount intercepted in tree canopies, and losses to evaporation, transpiration and groundwater. A systematic process was…
Year Published:
We examined the influence of a moderately severe wildfire on the thermal patterns in three small streams in central Idaho, USA, for an 11-month period beginning ten months after the fire. Two streams in unburned catchments served as reference sites…
Year Published:
We are developing new management treatments for regenerating and sustaining lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests through emulation of natural disturbance processes. Lodgepole pine is the principal forest cover on over 26 million hectares in…
Year Published:
The stochastic field of sediment supply to the channel network of a drainage basin depends on the large‐scale interactions among climatically driven processes such as forest fire and rainstorms, topography, channel network topology, and basin scale…

The native salmonids of the Idaho Panhandle National Forests, bull chaff (Salvelinus confluentus) and westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki lewisz) evolved with natural pulse disturbances of which the most common were fire and flood. These…
