Space is limited, so register soon.
Objectives - This event is designed to create dialogue among scientists and managers and to put fire ecology research in the context of real-life limitations and situations that influence decision making and planning.
Overview - The sites were selected to stimulate discussion and learning around the following topics: historical fire regimes of Yellowstone, factors that influence post-fire recovery, and potential ecological consequences of increased fire frequency with a warming climate.
Field discussions will include -
- Long-term fire history of the region
- Fire regime differences across soil, forest, and fuel types
- Ecological recovery following fire
- Factors influencing different post-fire trajectories
- Projections for future fire activity
- Possible ecological consequences related to future fire predictions
- Sensitivity and complacency of fire regimes in response to climate
- Additional topics brought by attendees
