Name: 2nd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference: Fire Behavior Fundamentals and Applications
Description: The 2nd Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference will be held from March 26-30, 2007 in Destin, Florida. It will focus on the fire environment - the 'fire environment' consists of fire weather, fire behavior, fire danger rating, predictive services, fuels,...

Name: 2nd International Wildland Fire Ecology and Fire Management Congress
Description: This conference was held in conjunction with the Fifth Symposium on Fire and Forest Meteorology, November 16-20, 2003 in Orlando, Florida. Land management agencies and organizations and private landholders are increasingly faced with the complex...

Name: Applying the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) to Alaskan Ecosystems
Description: The Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) has officially been used in Alaska since 1992. The CFFDRS is comprised of two major subsystems: the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI) System and the Canadian Forest Fire Behavior Prediction...

Name: Birds and Burns Network
Description: The USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station is leading the effort to examine fire effects on populations and habitats of wildlife in ponderosa pine forests in eight states across the western United States. In cooperation with 14 National...

Name: Chena Lakes F-Unit and Remote Arm Burn Severity and Forest Succession Projects
Description: Both of these Chena Lakes projects were designed to determine fuel treatment effectiveness, prescribed burn severity, and post-burn vegetative succession. Incident to the sampling, some tree cross-sections were collected in 2001 to determine...

Name: Do Fuel Treatments Reduce Fire Severity? Evaluating Treatment Effectiveness in the 2006 Tripod Complex Fires
Description: The 2006 Tripod Complex fires offer a rare opportunity to evaluate how a large number of well-documented fuel treatments affected fire severity (e.g., tree mortality) and facilitated operational aspects of fire suppression. The wildfires initiated as...
Web Pages  
Name: Ecosystem Effects of the Biscuit Fire
Description: The 2002 Biscuit fire burned through experimental plots established prior to the fire by the long-term ecosystem productivity (LTEP) program on the Siskiyou National Forest, Oregon, allowing researchers to examine patterns of fire effects across...
Web Pages  
Name: Effects of Fuels Reduction Treatments on Native Plant Communities in the Butte Falls Resource Area
Description: The objectives of the study are to: 1) assess relatively short-term consequences of two fuel reduction techniques (manual thinning, piling and burning; and brush mastication) for native plant communities of oak woodlands and shrub lands in the Butte...
Web Pages  
Name: Effects of Mechanically Generated Slash Particle Size on Prescribed Fire Behavior and Subsequent Vegetation Effects
Description: In the fire prone ecosystems of the interior Northwest, resource managers have begun to reduce fuel loadings by manipulating forest structure to achieve natural, pre-settlement conditions. This will facilitate a return to normal fire intervals and...
Web Pages  
Name: Effects of Prescribed and Wildand Fire on Aquatic Ecosystems in Western Forests
Description: The goal of this project is to understand how fire in upland and riparian forests influences stream communities and whether prescription burning mimics the ecological function of fire in a watershed. To document the range of biotic and abiotic...
