When relationships estimated in the past cannot be used to predict the future: using mechanistic models to predict landscape ecological dynamics in a changing world
Researchers and natural resource managers need predictions of how multiple global changes (e.g., climate change, rising levels of air pollutants, exotic invasions) will affect landscape composition and ecosystem function. Ecological predictive…

Entrainment regimes and flame characteristics of wildland fires
This paper reports results from a study of the flame characteristics of 22 wind-aided pine litter fires in a laboratory wind tunnel and 32 field fires in southern rough and litter–grass fuels. Flame characteristic and fire behaviour data from these…

An individual-based process model to simulate landscape-scale forest ecosystem dynamics
Forest ecosystem dynamics emerges from nonlinear interactions between adaptive biotic agents (i.e., individual trees) and their relationship with a spatially and temporally heterogeneous abiotic environment. Understanding and predicting the dynamics…

Evaluating the ecological benefits of wildfire by integrating fire and ecosystem simulation models
Fire managers are now realizing that wildfires can be beneficial because they can reduce hazardous fuels and restore fire-dominated ecosystems. A software tool that assesses potential beneficial and detrimental ecological effects from wildfire would…

Influence of fire regimes on lodgepole pine stand age and density across the Yellowstone National Park (USA) landscape
A probabilistic spatial model was created based on empirical data to examine the influence of different fire regimes on stand structure of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) forests across a >500,000-ha landscape in Yellowstone…

FuelCalc: A tool for calculating wildland fuel quantities and qualities and supporting fuel management decision - Final Report to the Joint Fire Science Program
A need exists for a simple computer program to determine surface and canopy fuel quantities (load, bulk density, depth) and qualities (fire behavior fuel model, fire-carrying fuel type) from a variety of fuel inventory data sources. In addition,…

FIREMON: Fire Effects Monitoring and Inventory System
FIREMON is a fire effects monitoring and inventory protocol developed for interagency use through a grant from the Joint Fire Science Program. It is designed to help the fire manager determine how plots should be placed on the landscape and what…

Catastrophic wildfire and number of populations as factors influencing risk of extinction for Gila trout (Onchorhnchus gilae)
We used the computer program RAMAS to explore the sensitivity of an extinction-risk model for the Gila trout (Oncorhynchus gibe) to management of wildfires and number of populations of the species. The Gila trout is an endangered salmonid presently…
