This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Arctostaphylos rubra (red fruit bearberry) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Nucifraga columbiana (Clark's nutcracker) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…
Year Published:
Pollen and high-resolution charcoal records from the north-western USA provide an opportunity to examine the linkages among fire, climate, and fuels on multiple temporal and spatial scales. The data suggest that general charcoal levels were low in…
Year Published:
Quantifying the historical range and variability of landscape composition and structure using simulation modeling is becoming an important means of assessing current landscape condition and prioritizing landscapes for ecosystem restoration. However…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Potentilla glandulosa (sticky cinquefoil) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management…
Year Published:
This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Sambucus racemosa (red elderberry) 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:
We characterised the remarkable heterogeneity following the large, severe fires of 1988 in Yellowstone National Park (YNP), in the northern Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, USA, by focussing on spatial variation in post-fire structure, composition and…
Year Published:
We compared the spatial characteristics of fire severity patches within individual fire "runs" (contiguous polygons burned during a given day) resulting from a 72,000 ha fire in central Idaho in 1994. Our hypothesis was that patch…
Year Published:
Litterfall and decomposition rates of the organic matter that comprise forest fuels are important to fire management, because they define fuel treatment longevity and provide parameters to design, test, and validate ecosystem models. This study…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Carex rostrata, Carex utriculata (swollen beaked sedge, Northwest Territory sedge) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and…
Year Published:
This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Dryopteris campyloptera, Dryopteris carthusiana, Dryopteris expansa, Dryopteris intermedia (mountain woodfern, spinulose woodfern, spreading woodfern, fancy fern) to fire--how…
Year Published:
Paleoecological reconstructions from two lakes in the U.S. northern Rocky Mountain region of Idaho and Montana revealed the presence of bark beetle elytra and head capsules (cf. Dendroctonus spp., most likely D. ponderosae, mountain pine beetle).…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Carex rossii (Ross's sedge) 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:
We describe a two-stage model of global log and chip markets that evaluates the spatial and temporal economic effects of government- subsidized fire-related mechanical fuel treatment programs in the U.S.West and South. The first stage is a goal…
Year Published:
Many natural resource agencies and organizations recognize the importance of fuel treatments as tools for reducing fire hazards and restoring ecosystems. However, there continues to be confusion and misconception about fuel treatments and their…
Year Published:
Surface fuel deposition and decomposition rates are important to fire management and research because they can define the longevity of fuel treatments in time and space and they can be used to design, build, test, and validate complex fire and…
Year Published:
Cambium injury is an important factor in post-fire tree survival. Measurements that quantify the degree of bark charring on tree stems after fire are often used as surrogates for direct cambium injury because they are relatively easy to assign and…
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…
Year Published:
A simulation system was developed to explore how fuel treatments placed in topologically random and optimal spatial patterns affect the growth and behaviour of large fires when implemented at different rates over the course of five decades. The…
Year Published:
This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Hieracium albiflorum (white hawkweed) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations…
