This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Muhlenbergia racemosa (green muhly) 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:
Invasive species and woodland encroachment have caused extensive changes in the fire regimes of sagebrush steppe over the past 150 years. Land managers and resource specialists of the Great Basin are increasingly required to implement vegetation…

The generalist fungal pathogen Pyrenophora semeniperda occurs primarily in cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) seed banks, where it causes high mortality. We investigated the relationship between this pathogen and its cheatgrass host in the context of fire…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Bonasa umbellus (ruffed grouse) 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:
Millions of hectares of rangeland in the western United States have been invaded by annual and woody plants that have increased the role of wildland fire. Altered fire regimes pose significant implications for runoff and erosion. In this paper we…
Year Published:
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…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Alnus incana, Alnus incana subsp. rugosa, Alnus incana subsp. tenuifolia (gray alder, speckled alder, thinleaf alder) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat,…
Year Published:
Wind erosion and aeolian transport processes are largely unstudied in the post-wildfire environment, but recent studies have shown that wind erosion can play a major role in burned landscapes. A wind erosion monitoring system was installed…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Quercus macrocarpa (bur oak) 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:
SageSTEP is a comprehensive regional experiment that provides critical information to managers faced with a sagebrush steppe ecosystem that is increasingly at risk from wildfire, invasive plants, and climate change. The experiment provides managers…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Amorpha canescens (leadplant) 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:
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…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Populus alba, Populus x canescens, Populus x heimburgeri, Populus x rouleauiana, Populus x tomentosa (white poplar, gray poplar, Heimburger's poplar, Roulwau's poplar…
Year Published:
Individual samples of high moisture fuels from the western and southern United States and humidified aspen excelsior were burned over a flat-flame burner at 987° ± 12°C and 10 ± 0.5 mol% O2. Time-dependent mass and temperature profiles of these…

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.…
Year Published:
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…
