This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Poa bulbosa (bulbous bluegrass) 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 Mustela nigripes (black-footed ferret) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…

Wildland fire knows no political boundaries, nor should efforts to address its risk. Collaboration is not a new idea; many examples of natural resource managers and community groups working together can be found in forest management planning,…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Symphoricarpos occidentalis (western snowberry) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…

Fire plays a large role in structuring sagebrush ecosystems; however, we have little knowledge of how vegetation changes with time as succession proceeds from immediate postfire to mature stands. We sampled at 38 sites in southwest Montana dominated…
Year Published:
Physics-based coupled fire-atmosphere models are based on approximations to the governing equations of fluid dynamics, combustion, and the thermal degradation of solid fuel. They require significantly more computational resources than the most…

Using custom fuel models developed for use with Rothermel's surface fire spread model, we predicted and compared fire behavior in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var. latifolia Engelm.) stands with endemic, current epidemic, and…

The International Association of Wildland Fire sponsored the second Fire Behavior and Fuels conference in Destin, Florida. The conference theme was 'Fire Environment--Innovations, Management, and Policy.' Over 450 attendees participated in…

Accurate mapping of wildfires is critical to fire management. Technological advances in remotesensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) over the last decade have been widely incorporated into wildfire mapping and management, but neither have…
Year Published:
To facilitate delivery and use of the Fuels Planning: Science Synthesis and Integration Project's (Project) products, the Project team engaged in a series of technology transfer activities throughout the life of the project. These included…

Little is known about ponderosa pine forest ecosystem responses to restoration practices in the Northern Rocky Mountains, USA. In this study, restoration treatments aimed at approximating historical forest structure and disturbances included…
Year Published:
Many wildfire events have burned thousands of hectares across the western United States, such as the Bitterroot (Montana), Rodeo-Chediski (Arizona), Hayman (Colorado), and Biscuit (Oregon) fires. These events led to Congress enacting the Healthy…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Pekania pennanti (fisher) 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:
Vegetation response and burn severity were examined following eight large wildfires that burned in 2003 and 2004: two wildfires in California chaparral, two each in dry and moist mixed-conifer forests in Montana, and two in boreal forests in…
Year Published:
The effects of prescribed fires on nitrogen dynamics in N limited headwater ecosystems in the northern Rocky Mountains of central Idaho are being investigated. This replicated study studies causal mechanisms that regulate nitrogen (N) dynamics…
Year Published:
Forest restoration in ponderosa pine and mixed ponderosa pine-Douglas fir forests in the US Rocky Mountains has been highly influenced by a historical model of frequent, low-severity surface fires developed for the ponderosa pine forests of the…
Year Published:
Thousands of firefighters across the United States have been influenced by the first edition of “Managing the Unexpected”. In this second edition, the authors continue their analysis of high reliability organizations (HRO’s), which are organizations…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Lynx canadensis (Canada lynx) 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:
Wildland fire managers need better estimates of fuel loading so they can accurately predict potential fire behavior and effects of alternative fuel and ecosystem restoration treatments. This report presents the development and evaluation of a new…

Nearly everyone has wronged another. Who among us has not longed to be forgiven? Who has not struggled to forgive? Charles Griswold has written the first comprehensive philosophical book on forgiveness in both its interpersonal and political…
