Smoke complaints caused by wildland fire in the southern Sierra Nevada region, California

Mega-fires are expected to increase in the Western United States. The state of the science suggests that the best mitigation to prevent destructive forest fires is to reintroduce ecologically beneficial fire, but this can only be accomplished with public support. The objective…

Using social media to predict air pollution during California wildfires

Wildfires have significant effects on human populations worldwide. Smoke pollution, in particular, from either prescribed burns or uncontrolled wildfires, can have profound health impacts, such as reducing birth weight in children and aggravating respiratory and cardiovascular…

The efficacy of news releases, news reports, and public nuisance complaints for determining smoke impacts to air quality from wildland fire

Understanding air quality impacts caused by smoke from wildland fire is a major concern in the western USA. The objectives of this paper were to examine news releases, news reports, and public nuisance complaints about smoke impacts caused by forest fires to determine if these…

Resources for predicting and mitigating smoke impacts of wildland fires

Fire managers use prescribed fire and some wildfires to meet resource management objectives, like restoring and maintaining ecological processes, watershed function, and wildlife habitat, as well as to reduce fuels and mitigate the risk of severe wildfires. However, public…

Playing with fire: effects of fire in management of southwestern recreation resources

[from the text] Outdoor recreation is continuing to increase in the United States. Hendee et al. (1977) estimated that public use of wilderness areas will increase, in the 40-year period from 1960 to 2000, by nearly tenfold. A report by the Heritage Conservation and Recreation…

Aligning smoke management with ecological and public health goals

Past and current forest management affects wildland fire smoke impacts on downwind human populations. However, mismatches between the scale of benefits and risks make it difficult to proactively manage wildland fires to promote both ecological and public health. Building on…
