The economics of fuel management: wildfire, invasive plants, and the dynamics of sagebrush rangelands in the western United States
In this article we develop a simulation model to evaluate the economic efficiency of fuel treatments and apply it to two sagebrush ecosystems in the Great Basin of the western United States: the Wyoming sagebrush steppe and mountain big sagebrush…

Economic and social impacts of wildfires and invasive plants in American deserts: lessons from the Great Basin
Research on the impacts of wildfire and invasive plants in rangelands has focused on biophysical rather than human dimensions of these environmental processes. We offer a synthetic perspective on economic and social aspects of wildfire and invasive…

Ranching, invasive annual grasses, and the external costs of wildfire in the Great Basin: a stochastic dynamic programming approach
The spread of invasive annual grasses and resulting escalation of wildfire frequency and severity pose a significant and growing threat to the economic and ecological viability of the rangelands in the Great Basin. While private ranchers have the…

Estimating postfire changes in production and value of northern rocky mountain-intermountain rangelands
A simulation model was developed to estimate postfire changes in the production and value of grazing lands in the Northern Rocky Mountain-Intermountain region. Ecological information and management decisions were used to simulate expected changes in…
