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…
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 Cladonia arbuscula, Cladonia mitis, Cladonia rangeferia, Cladonia stellaris (shrubby reindeer lichen, green reindeer lichen, gray reindeer lichen, alpine reindeer lichen) to…
Year Published:
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:
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:
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:
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).…
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:
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:
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:
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:
Charcoal represents a super-passive form of carbon (C) that is generated during fire events and is one of the few legacies of fire recorded in the soil profile; however, the importance of this material as a form of C storage has received only…
Year Published:
Alluvial fan deposits are widespread and preserve millennial-length records of fire. We used these records to examine changes in fire regimes over the last 2000 years in Yellowstone National Park mixed-conifer forests and drier central Idaho…
Year Published:
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:
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 Fragaria vesca (woodland strawberry) 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:
This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Hedysarum alpinum (alpine sweetvetch) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations…
