Snag longevity in relation to wildfire and postfire salvage logging
Snags create nesting, foraging, and roosting habitat for a variety of wildlife species. Removal of snags through postfire salvage logging reduces the densities and size classes of snags remaining after wildfire. We determined important variables…

Interactions among fire, insects, and pathogens in coniferous forests of the interior western United States and Canada
Natural and recurring disturbances caused by fire, native forest insects and pathogens have interacted for millennia to create and maintain forests dominated by seral or pioneering species of conifers in the interior regions of the western United…

Toward meaningful snag-management guidelines for postfire salvage logging in North American conifer forests
The bird species in western North America that are most restricted to, and therefore most dependent on, severely burned conifer forests during the first years following a fire event depend heavily on the abundant standing snags for perch sites, nest…

The effects of postfire salvage logging on cavity-nesting birds
We investigated the effects of postfire salvage logging on cavity-nesting birds by comparing nest densities and patterns of nest reuse over a three-year period in seven logged and eight unlogged patches of mixed-conifer forest in the Blackfoot-…

Wildlife and invertebrate response to fuel reduction treatments in dry coniferous forests of the Western United States: a synthesis
This paper synthesizes available information on the effects of hazardous fuel reduction treatments on terrestrial wildlife and invertebrates in dry coniferous forest types in the West. We focused on thinning and/or prescribed fire studies in…

Developing statistical wildlife habitat relationships for assessing cumulative effects of fuels treatments - Final Report to the Joint Fire Science Program
The primary weakness in our current ability to evaluate future landscapes in terms of wildlife lies in the lack of quantitative models linking wildlife to forest stand conditions, including fuels treatments. This project focuses on 1) developing…

Changes in downed wood and forest structure after prescribed fire in ponderosa pine forests
Most prescribed fire plans focus on reducing wildfire hazards with little consideration given to effects on wildlife populations and their habitats. To evaluate effectiveness of prescribed burning in reducing fuels and to assess effects of fuels…
