This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Melilotus alba, Melilotus officinalis (white sweetclover, yellow sweetclover) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, invasiveness of the species, effects of the…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Schedonorus pratensis (meadow fescue) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, invasiveness of the species, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and…

Geospatial technologies used to fight large fires are becoming increasingly available, yet no rigorous study exists of their effects on suppression costs or fire losses, nor do we know whether these technologies allow more efficient combination of…

The forest-sagebrush ecotone is characterized by a more arid climate than forested regions; therefore, establishing fire histories using traditional methods (e.g. fire-scars from trees, charcoal in lake sediments) is problematic. This study uses…

Reflecting on the links between intentions and outcomes is a key practice of a learning organization (Garvin 2000). The After-Action Review (AAR) is a formal reflection process intended to assist groups in capturing lessons learned from a task. AARs…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Holodiscus dumosus (rockspirea) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations.…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Linanthus pungens (granite prickly-phlox) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…
Year Published:
Fuel treatments alter conditions in forested stands at the time of the treatment and subsequently. Fuel treatments reduce on-site carbon and also change the fire potential and expected outcome of future wildfires, including their carbon emissions.…

The physical science linking human-induced increases in greenhouse gasses to the warming of the global climate system is well established, but the implications of this warming for ecosystem processes and services at regional scales is still poorly…
Year Published:
Whitebark pine is declining across much of its range in North America because of the combined effects of mountain pine beetle epidemics, fire exclusion policies, and widespread exotic blister rust infections. This management guide summarizes the…
Year Published:
Fire regimes (i.e., the pattern, frequency and intensity of fire in a region) reflect a complex interplay of bottom-up and top-down controls (Lertzman et al., 1998; McKenzie et al., in press). Bottom-up controls include local variations in…

As the size and severity of fires in the western U.S. continue to increase, it has become ever more important to understand carbon dynamics in response to fire. Many subalpine forests experience stand-replacing wildfires, and these fires…

The public health workforce is diverse and encompasses a wide range of professions. For tribal communities, the Community Health Representative (CHR) is a public health paraprofessional whose role as a community health educator and health advocate…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Holodiscus discolor (oceanspray) 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:
Increased forest density resulting from decades of fire exclusion is often perceived as the leading cause of historically aberrant, severe, contemporary wildfires and insect outbreaks documented in some fire-prone forests of the western United…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Ailanthus altissima (tree-of-heaven) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, invasiveness of the species, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and…
Year Published:
The current safety zone guidelines used in the US were developed based on the assumption that the fire and safety zone were located on flat terrain. The minimum safe distance for a firefighter to be from a flame was calculated as that corresponding…

This report was designed to meet three broad goals: (1) evaluate wildfire hazard on Federal lands; (2) develop information useful in prioritizing where fuels treatments and mitigation measures might be proposed to address significant fire hazard and…
