Air quality monitoring for smoke
Core, Peterson
From the Introduction...'There are several reasons why wildland fire managers may want to conduct an ambient air quality-monitoring program. These include: • smoke management program evaluation purposes, • to fulfill a public information need, • to…

Post-fire runoff and erosion from rainfall simulation: contrasting forests with shrublands and grasslands
Johansen, Hakonson, Breshears
Rainfall simulations allow for controlled comparisons of runoff and erosion among ecosystems and land cover conditions. Runoff and erosion can increase greatly following fire, yet there are few rainfall simulation studies for post-fire plots,…

The new smoke management
Riebau, Fox
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will implement new regulations for the management of atmospheric particulate matter 2.5 Fm and less in diameter (PM2.5), tropospheric ozone, and regional haze in the next few years. These three…

Costs and effectiveness of multi-scale integrated management
Hann, Hemstrom, Haynes, Clifford, Gravenmier
To understand benefits of integrating management at landscape scales, we estimated cost and projected integrated outcomes for three alternatives for public land management in the interior Columbia River basin over 100 years. Effectiveness was…

Uncertainty in surface-fire history: the case of ponderosa pine forests in the western United States
Baker, Ehle
Present understanding of fire ecology in forests subject to surface fires is based on fire-scar evidence. We present theory and empirical results that suggest that fire-history data have uncertainties and biases when used to estimate the population…

Catastrophic wildfire and number of populations as factors influencing risk of extinction for Gila trout (Oncorhynchus gilae)
Brown, Echelle, Propst, Brooks, Fisher
We used the computer program RAMAS to explore the sensitivity of an extinction-risk model for the Gila trout (Oncorhynchus gibe) to management of wildfires and number of populations of the species. The Gila trout is an endangered salmonid presently…

The effect of management for red grouse shooting on the population density of breeding birds on heather-dominated moorland
Tharme, Green, Baines, Bainbridge, O'Brien
1. Breeding birds, vegetation and moorland management were surveyed in 320 1-km squares on 122 estates in upland areas of eastern Scotland and northern England where red grouse shooting is a widespread land use. We assessed whether population…
