Using wildfire as a management strategy to restore resiliency to ponderosa pine forests in the southwestern United States
Young, Ager, Thode
The long-term outcome from accelerated forest restoration using resource objective wildfire in combination with fuel management on fire-excluded landscapes is not well studied. We used simulation modeling to examine long-term trade-offs and…

A hybrid deep learning model by combining convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network to detect forest fire
Ghosh, Kumar
Forest fire poses a serious threat to wildlife, environment, and all mankind. This threat has prompted the development of various intelligent and computer vision based systems to detect forest fire. This article proposes a novel hybrid deep learning…

Conserving Wildlife under Changing Fire Regimes
Jones
This seminar is part of the USFS Missoula Fire Lab Seminar Series. Fire regimes are changing. What will this mean for wildlife? In the face of rapid environmental changes, animals have three choices: adapt, move, or die. Wildlife responses to…

Short-term benefits of prescribed fire to bird communities of dry forests
Saab, Latif, Block, Dudley
Background Low-severity prescribed fire is an important tool to manage fire-maintained forests across North America. In dry conifer forests of the western USA, prescribed fire is often used to reduce fuel loads in forests characterized historically…

Fire Ecology and management of spotted knapweed, diffuse knapweed, and yellow starthistle – Research Brief
Innes
Spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe subsp. micranthos), diffuse knapweed (C. diffusa), and yellow starthistle (C. solstitialis) are nonnative, invasive forbs that can displace native plants, reduce native plant diversity, reduce native wildlife…

Fire as a driver and mediator of predator-prey interactions
Doherty, Geary, Jolly, Macdonald, Miritis, Watchorn, Cherry, Conner, González, Legge, Ritchie, Stawski, Dickman
Both fire and predators have strong influences on the population dynamics and behaviour of animals, and the effects of predators may either be strengthened or weakened by fire. However, knowledge of how fire drives or mediates predator–prey…

Effects of fire history on animal communities: a systematic review
González, González-Trujillo, Muñoz, Armenteras
Fire is a natural agent with a paramount role in ecosystem functioning and biodiversity maintenance. Still, it can also act as a negative force against many ecosystems. Despite some knowledge of the interactions of fire and vegetation, there is no…

Forest management and biochar for continued ecosystem services
Rodriguez-Franco, Page-Dumroese, Archuleta
New approaches to managing climate change uncertainty rely on integrating innovative forest management practices with adaptive management techniques and robust decision-support strategies. Forest management alternatives for a changing climate can…

Abundance of mites, but not of collembolans or nematodes, is reduced by restoration of a Pinus ponderosa forest with thinning, mastication, and prescribed fire
Gibson, Johnson, Laturno, Parmenter, Antoninka
Thinning, mastication, and prescribed fire are restoration treatments frequently employed in unnaturally dense second-growth Pinus ponderosa forests of the Western United States. Although a goal of these treatments is to restore ecosystem structure…
