Integrating fire management and forest management to deal with an evolving paradox [abstract]
Hirsch, Kafka
Sustainable forest management in many of Canada*s forest ecosystems requires minimizing the socioeconomic impacts of fire and maximizing its ecological benefits. More specifically, while significant losses of life, property, and natural resources…

Interactions between fire and invasive plants in the deserts of North America [abstract]
Brooks, Pyke
Two very different vegetation types characterize the deserts of North America. Shrublands are typical of the Great Basin, Mojave, and Sonoran deserts. Perennial grasslands are most prevalent in the Chihuahuan Desert. Historically, fires were…

A fuel characteristic classification system for the United States [abstract]
Sandberg, Ottmar, Cushon
The USDA Forest Service Fire and Environmental Research Applications (FERA) Team, on behalf of the Joint Fire Sciences Program, is developing a system for characterizing fuels on managed and unmanaged wildland fuelbeds throughout the United States.…

Integrating fire and natural resource management across multiple resource functions and scales: a land and fire management planning model [abstract]
Caratti, Hann, Long, Menakis
National Forest and Grassland fire management has historically emphasized wildfire suppression and provided prescribed fire and fuel management support to other resources. Many fire management fuel treatments often occurred in a fragmented pattern…

Stream N as an indicator of ecosystem response to fire: a comparison of different burning regimes in the southern Appalachians [abstract]
Clinton, Vose, Knoepp, Elliott
Southern Appalachian forests are undergoing considerable change due to altered disturbance regimes. For example, fire exclusion has had a major impact on the structure and function of pine/hardwood ecosystems. Recently, fire has been used in a…

A proposed long-term national study of the consequences of fire and fire surrogate treatments
Weatherspoon
Many U. S. forests, especially those with historically short-interval, low- to moderate-severity fire regimes, are too dense and have excessive quantities of fuels. Widespread treatments are needed to restore ecological integrity and reduce the high…

Fire behavior knowledge gaps (& research needs) pertaining to ecosystem management - invited paper
Alexander
[From lead-in] Although there are many other fire behavior knowledge gaps and research needs that I could list here (e.g., development of models or guidelines for predicting fire vortex generation, plume-dominated or convectively dominated fires and…
