Understanding interaction effects of climate change and fire management on bird distributions through combined process and habitat models
White, Gutzwiller, Barrow, Johnson-Randall, Zygo, Swint
Avian conservation efforts must account for changes in vegetation composition and structure associated with climate change. We modeled vegetation change and the probability of occurrence of birds to project changes in winter bird distributions…

Uncertainty and risk in wildland fire management: a review
Thompson, Calkin
Wildland fire management is subject to manifold sources of uncertainty. Beyond the unpredictability of wildfire behavior, uncertainty stems from inaccurate/missing data, limited resource value measures to guide prioritization across fires and…

Workshop approach for developing climate change adaptation strategies and actions for natural resource management agencies in the United States
Halofsky, Peterson, Furniss, Joyce, Millar, Neilson
Concrete ways to adapt to climate change are needed to help land-management agencies take steps to incorporate climate change into management and take advantage of opportunities to balance the negative effects of climate change. Because the…

A comparative risk assessment framework for wildland fire management: the 2010 cohesive strategy science report
Calkin, Ager, Thompson, Finney, Lee, Quigley, McHugh, Riley, Gilbertson-Day
The FLAME Act of 2009 requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Interior to submit to Congress a Cohesive Wildfire Management Strategy. In this report, we explore the general science available for a risk-…

Using Climate Information for Risk Mitigation and Objective Achievement in Managed Fire
Kolden
Considerable evidence exists that climate impacts wildfires and that climate change will continue to provide challenges for fire management. For fire managers, a key step in meeting those challenges is to identify ways to utilize climate information…

The FireBGCv2 landscape fire and succession model: a research simulation platform for exploring fire and vegetation dynamics
Keane, Loehman, Holsinger
Fire management faces important emergent issues in the coming years such as climate change, fire exclusion impacts, and wildland-urban development, so new, innovative means are needed to address these challenges. Field studies, while preferable and…
