Name: 80 years of change in a ponderosa pine forest - poster
Description: Living things change constantly, as do communities of living things. In a forest, where individual trees can live for centuries and new plants replace old plants, it is not easy to visualize the changes that occur over time. Luckily, we have some...

Name: A 200-year perspective of climate variability and the response of white spruce in Interior Alaska
Description: This volume (Climate Variability and Ecosystem Response at Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Sites), in the Long-Term Ecological Research Network Series would present the work that has been done and the understanding and database that have been...

Name: A burning interest in boreal forests: researchers in Alaska link fires with climate change
Description: Here in Delta Junction, a stand of black spruce once cut a classic postcard profile against the snow-capped backdrop of the Alaska Range. But in 1999, it burned in the Donnelly Flats wildfire, a blaze that consumed 18,000 acres of forest. What's left...

Name: A carbon budget for forests of the conterminous United States
Description: The potential need for national-level comparisons of greenhouse gas emissions, and the desirability of understanding terrestrial sources and sinks of carbon, has prompted interest in quantifying national forest carbon budgets. In this study, we link a...

Name: A climatological study of the Keetch/Byram drought index and fire activity in the Hawaiian Islands
Description: The Hawaiian Islands experience damaging wildfires on a yearly basis. Soil moisture or lack thereof, influences the amount and flammability of vegetation. The Keetch and Byram drought index (KBDI) estimates the amount of soil moisture by tracking...

Name: A comparison of five sampling techniques to estimate surface fuel loading in montane forests
Description: Designing a fuel-sampling program that accurately and efficiently assesses fuel load at relevant spatial scales requires knowledge of each sample method's strengths and weaknesses. We obtained loading values for six fuel components using five fuel...

Name: A comparison of three techniques to date stand-replacing fires in lodgepole pine forests
Description: We examined the effectiveness of three sampling techniques and five sample sizes to date stand-replacing fires in lodgepole pine forests in the southern Rocky Mountains, USA. Transects (5 m�250 m) were established in a relatively young (120 yrs old),...

Name: A general theory on line intersect sampling: with application to logging residue inventory
Description: Description not entered
Web Pages  
Name: A hierarchical approach for scaling forest inventory and fuels data from local to landscape scales in the Davis Mountains, Texas, USA
Description: This study combined hierarchical cluster analysis and classification and regression tree algorithms to quantify vegetation and fuel characteristics and to generate spatially explicit vegetation and fuels maps for forest and fire management in the...

Name: A management study template for learning about postwildfire management
Description: The concept of management studies-implemented by managers as normal business to meet priority learning needs-is applied to a priority regional question: how to manage after a large wildfire to better meet preexisting or new societal needs. Because of...
