  • Sisters Community Wildfire Protection Plan

    Creator:
    Kauffman, Marcus
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the Greater Sisters Country CWPP is to protect human life and reduce property loss due to catastrophic wildland fire in the communities and surrounding areas of the Sisters/Camp Sherman, Black Butte Ranch, and Cloverdale Rural Fire Protection Districts. Although reducing the threat of wildland fire is the...

  • Clackamas County Community Wildfire Protection Plan

    Creator:
    Clackamas County Community Wildfire Protection Plan Committee
    Abstract:
    The Clackamas CWPP is a consolidated reference documenting wildfire hazards, prevention and response efforts, and resource sharing information for all participating local, state and federal fire agencies. It improves upon historical fire planning efforts by providing a more localized and accurate approach for determining wildfire hazards and implementing best practices...

  • Spatially explicit inter-temporal forest management decision under the risk of fire

    Creator:
    Konoshima, Masashi
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a framework for analyzing efficient spatial allocation of forest management efforts - fuel treatment and harvest - under the risk of fire. The framework integrates a fire behavior model and a spatially-explicit stochastic dynamic optimization model. I investigate the effects of spatial interaction across plots during forest...

  • The effects of forest fuel reduction on fire severity and long-term carbon storage

    Creator:
    Mitchell, Stephen Richard
    Abstract:
    Two forest management objectives being debated in the context of federally managed landscapes in the US Pacific Northwest involve a perceived trade-off between fire restoration and C sequestration. The former strategy would reduce fuel (and therefore C) that has accumulated through a century of fire suppression and exclusion that has...

  • Wildfire risk management : strategic interaction and spatial interdependence

    Creator:
    Busby, Gwenlyn M.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I examine how the spatial configuration of forest ownership influences the risk-mitigating behavior of public and private forestland owners over time. I determine whether or not the predicted equilibrium outcomes are socially optimal and, if not, whether the introduction of regulation, liability, or private insurance would lead...

  • Chaparral history, dynamics, and response to disturbance in southwest Oregon : insights from age structure

    Creator:
    Duren, Olivia
    Abstract:
    Fuels management on Bureau of Land Management lands in SW Oregon, USA, is motivated by the needs to reduce fire hazard and restore ecosystems thought to be impacted by fire suppression. Chaparral is one of the most characteristic vegetation communities of SW Oregon's interior valleys, and extensive acreages within this...
