Fundamental Research on How Wildfires Spread

This webinar will go through some of the new and exciting fundamental research being conducted by the Forest Service at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory. About half of the Forest Service budget is spent on fire suppression, yet we still can’t explain exactly how wildland fires spread. In order to make more informed decisions and improve fire fighter safety, a new research program at…

Climate, wildfire, and management influences on forest carbon carrying capacity

The carbon carrying capacity (CCC) of an ecosystem is determined by prevailing climate and natural disturbance conditions.  Projected climate change and increasing area burned have the potential to alter forest CCC.  We have been working across several landscapes to quantify the effects of projected climate and wildfire on forest carbon dynamics and the potential for management to…

This is a great opportunity to hear updates about Oregon's 2017 Smoke Management Plan Review, meet others interested in returning fire to the landscapes in Oregon that need it, see work…

Efficacy of resource objective wildfires for restoring ponderosa pine ecosystems in northern Arizona

Presenter: David Huffman, Ecological Restoration Institute, Northern Arizona University

Historical interruption of frequent surface fire regimes and decades of fire exclusion have resulted in degraded ecological conditions in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests of the American Southwest. Presently, there is much…
