Ecological restoration projects that include reforestation require that land managers select appropriate source of seeds for long-term persistence. In California, the standard approach for making this choice is based on seed zone and elevational…
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…
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…
Wildfire directly changes the physical properties of Earth’s critical zone, which leads to catastrophic changes in ecological and hydrological processes (Shakesby & Doerr, 2006). Uncontrolled wildfire in forested headwater catchments often…
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…
This research was designed to address the need for a more cohesive approach to managing wildfire risk in the western United States. This involves multiple entities with diverse, often competing policies, incentives, and practices who are not well-…
Incident Kits - Employee Behavioral Health and Wellbeing
The long hours, months of endurance, and ongoing needs for engagement in fire and emergency response, when left unmitigated, pose risks to the wellbeing of all our employees who are making…
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 purpose of this group is to promote cultural change in the workforce and emphasize the importance of leadership concepts in the wildland fire service by providing educational and leadership development opportunities. The website provides several…
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…
Mission: Communicate the science and effects of climate change to the public and decision-makers.
Who We Are: An independent organization of leading scientists and journalists researching and reporting the facts about our changing climate and its…
USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS), in conjunction with the US Forest Service Pacific Southwest (PSW) Region, has developed several new products for understanding and forecasting the probability of large wildland fires on all land…
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…
