FIREMON: Fire Effects Monitoring and Inventory System is an agency independent plot level sampling system designed to characterize changes in ecosystem attributes over time. The system consists of: a sampling strategy manual, standardized sampling…
Founded in 1944, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) is the oldest, largest, and most representative American Indian and Alaska Native organization serving the broad interests of tribal governments and communities.
NCAI, a non-profit…
Understanding the detailed physical and social context surrounding wildfire and WUI fire fatalities is crucial in terms of ensuring effective emergency management policy and practice. Studies of fatalities over prolonged periods ensure changing…
Visitors to this page have access to an international database of literature dealing with a seemingly limitless number of wildland firefighting topics. Site visitors can submit documents to the library, browse existing documents by topic or media…
The Mental Health Subcommittee (MHSC) provides national leadership in wildland firefighter mental health and wellness. The MHSC promotes and facilitates a national interagency approach to proactively identifying and addressing firefighter mental…
The Burned Area Learning Network addresses post-fire impacts to ecosystems and communities.
Wildfires in the West are increasing in size and severity, and are impacting more communities. While we recognize fire as an inevitable and essential process…
FireStem is a computer model designed to aid fire managers in predicting tree mortality based on fire behavior and intensity. The eventual goal is to produce mortality predictions based on fuel information, moisture, and fire behavior for a…
The increase of wildfire frequency and size in the Great Basin over the last few decades has taken a toll on sagebrush. As more fires burn, the native sagebrush-steppe ecosystem is being replaced by annual invasive species, primarily cheatgrass,…
Fuel treatment effectiveness at the landscape scale: A systematic review of simulation studies comparing treatment scenarios in North America
The National Advanced Fire and Resource Institute is a national level center serving the interagency wildland fire community through the development and implementation of fire, fuels, resource, and incident management skills and educational…
LANDFIRE is an ongoing research project and database that contains geospatial data products that describe existing vegetation composition and structure, potential vegetation, surface and canopy fuel characteristics, historical fire regimes, and fire…
Established in 1995, NCEAS was the first synthesis science center in the world. We pioneered the movement toward this collaborative approach to science and have helped build a community of scientists around it.
NCEAS conducts transformational…
This system is intended to assist fire managers and analysts in making strategic and tactical decisions for fire incidents. It is designed to replace the WFSA (Wildland Fire Situation Analysis), Wildland Fire Implementation Plan (WFIP), and Long-…
The primary objective of the National Landslide Hazards Program is to reduce long-term losses from landslide hazards by improving our understanding of the causes of ground failure and suggesting mitigation strategies.
This guide was developed to help identify Culturally Peeled Trees. Culturally Peeled Trees are a specific type of Culturally Modified Tree. The term is used to describe the mostly pre-reservation practice by aboriginal or native people of '…
The intent of this resource is to provide a library of information on significant wildland fire events in order to assist individuals who want to conduct staff rides to those sites and to provide a reference source for individuals who want to…
At Action Design, we help people build working relationships that sustain high levels of trust, commitment, and learning so that they are able to master their toughest challenges.
We believe the work of leadership at all levels is accomplished in…
The National Fire danger Rating System is a set of computer programs and algorithms that allow land management agencies to estimate today's or tomorrow's fire danger for a given rating area. NFDRS characterizes fire danger by evaluating the…
WiRē (Wildfire Research) is an interdisciplinary research collaboration focused on homeowner wildfire risk mitigation and community wildfire adaptedness. This group seeks to improve the bridge between use-inspired research and on-the-ground programs…
Fire resistance traits drive tree species composition in surface‐fire ecosystems, but how they covary at different scales of variation and with the environment is not well documented. We assessed the covariation of bark thickness (BT), tree height,…
