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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Vegetation structure in old-growth stands in the Coram Research Natural Area in northwestern Montana
Forest stand structure, understory composition, and tree seedling composition are described for eight permanent tenth-hectare plots established in Engelmann spruce/subalpine fir, western larch, and interior Douglas-fir forest cover types in…

Fires occur frequently in dry forests of the Inland West. Fire effects vary across the landscape, reflecting topography, elevation, aspect, slope, soils, and vegetation attributes. Patches minimally affected by successive fires may be thought of as…

The decision to include the fire process as part of a restoration treatment for a particular forest site is most logically made in conjunction with the decision for a silvicultural treatment. In other words, forest managers do not typically wait to…
