This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Alces americanus (moose) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes, and fire management considerations. Information…
Year Published:
Removal of dead and live biomass from forested stands affects subsequent fuel dynamics and fire potential. The amount of material left onsite after biomass removal operations can influence the intensity and severity of subsequent unplanned wildfires…
Year Published:
The introduced pathogen Cronartium ribicola, cause of white pine blister rust, has spread across much of western North America and established known infestations within all but one species of white pine endemic to western Canada and the United…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Holodiscus discolor (oceanspray) 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:
Fuel treatments alter conditions in forested stands at the time of the treatment and subsequently. Fuel treatments reduce on-site carbon and also change the fire potential and expected outcome of future wildfires, including their carbon emissions.…
Year Published:
Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) has been declining across much of its range in North America because of the combined effects of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) epidemics, fire exclusion policies, and widespread exotic blister rust…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Polygonum aviculare (prostrate knotweed) to fire--how fire affects the species and its habitat, invasiveness of the species, effects of the species on fuels and fire regimes,…
Year Published:
Although 'carbon' management may not be a primary objective in forest management, influencing the distribution, composition, growth, and development of biomass to fulfill multiple objectives is; therefore, given a changing climate,…

Equations to convert compacted crown ratio to uncompacted crown ratio for trees in the Interior West
Crown ratio is the proportion of total tree length supporting live foliage. Inventory programs of the US Forest Service generally define crown ratio in terms of compacted or uncompacted measurements. Measurement of compacted crown ratio (CCR)…

Remote sensing from space may well become one of the world's most effective, accurate, and efficient ways to assess fire risk and thus manage large landscapes. The technology is evolving quickly, and researchers are busy keeping up. Some major…
Year Published:
Bark beetle populations are at outbreak conditions in many parts of the western United States and causing extensive tree mortality. Bark beetles interact with other disturbance agents in forest ecosystems, one of the primary being fires. In order to…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Potentilla hippiana (woolly 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:
The interaction between disturbance and climate change and resultant effects on ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) fluxes are poorly understood. Here, we model (using CENTURY version 4.5) how climate change may affect C and N fluxes among mature…

This FEIS species review synthesizes information on the relationship of Festuca thurberi (Thurber fescue) 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:
The recent dramatic impacts of bark beetle outbreaks across conifer forests of the West have been mapped and reported by entomology and pathology professionals with Forest Health Protection (FHP), a component of USDA Forest Service's State and…

Year Published:
The interactions of wildfire and bark beetle outbreaks and their reciprocal influences on fire behavior, bark beetle dynamics, and ecosystem structure are critical research issues in many coniferous forests of the Intermountain West. We combined…
