Social Capital, Collaboration, and Participation: How Social Factors Impact Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) with a Case Study on Ouray, Colorado

Creator:: Weickhardt, Adrianna K.
Abstract:: Populated and developed areas at the fringes of or intermixed with undeveloped landscapes are referred to as the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). There are many unique benefits associated with living in the WUI that understandably attract people to move to them. However, there are also potential wildfire-related risks particular to...

Post-wildfire Investigation of Civil Infrastructure Following the 2018 Camp Fire

Creator:: Schulze, Stefanie S.
Abstract:: Wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities, where forested land boundaries or intermixes with infrastructure, are quickly growing in the US. WUI communities have grown substantially from 1990 to 2010, with an increase of 12.7 million houses and 25 million people. Wildfires encroaching on WUI communities can cause damage to both above ground...

Demography, home range, and habitat selection of northern spotted owls in the Ashland Watershed

Creator:: Schilling, Jason W.
Abstract:: Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) inhabit productive forests that historically supported frequent, large, variable-severity fires in the Klamath province of southwestern Oregon occur in complex. The potential for high-severity wildfire remains high throughout this region, so remaining spotted owl habitat is at risk. An adaptive management approach to fire...

Examining the Relationships Between Wildfire and Communities to Inform Wildfire Prevention and Equitable Policy Implementation

Creator:: Reilley, Caitlyn
Abstract:: Despite the importance of fire for maintaining the health of many ecosystems, the social and economic costs of wildfires have risen sharply in recent years. Across the western United States, historical land and fire management practices combined with climate change and modern human development pressures, are contributing to increased wildfire...

Public perceptions of smoke from wildfire, prescribed fire, and fire use

Creator:: Frederick, Stacey Sargent
Abstract:: Managers and policy-makers across broad disciplines and organizations are calling for a better understanding of public opinion on natural resource issues. One such issue is that of fire and its role in the management of our forests and rangelands. Public perceptions of fuel reduction techniques, with a particular emphasis on...

Forest restoration and fuels reduction on non-industrial private land in northwestern California

Creator:: Latimer, Lisa Marie
Abstract:: This thesis explores the complexity of relationships between communities and the ecosystems in which they live through a focus on forest restoration and fuels reduction on private land. As a case study, research took place in the Klamath-Siskiyou region of rural Northern California, in Humboldt and Siskiyou counties. The research...

Catastrophic Wildfire in California's Wildland Urban-Interface: A Tahoe Fire and Fuels Team Case Study

Creator:: Koutnik, Charles Zachary
Abstract:: Wildfires across the Western United States, specifically in California have increased in size and intensity in recent decades. These fires are encroaching on California’s Wildland Urban-Interface (WUI), often with devastating results. Most recently, these destructive results were displayed in the 2018 fire season in the Camp and Carr Fires and...

Equity in Resilience: Wildfire in the Rogue River Basin

Creator:: Sloan, Emma E.
Abstract:: Forced removal of Indigenous communities and subsequent colonial forest management have led to landscape homogenization, fuel abundance, conifer encroachment, and, therefore, a loss of forest and fire resilience in the Western US. This loss of forest and fire resilience leads to a loss of social resilience as forested communities struggle...

Remote detection and predicted locations of NIPF fuel treatments in central Oregon

Creator:: Hall, Michael P.
Abstract:: Fire regimes across the western United States have been altered due to past land management and changing land use. Mitigating increased risks of wildfire occurrence in landscapes such as central Oregon requires landscape level management from both governmental and private organizations. Non-industrial private forest (NIPF) owners manage a relatively small...

An Assessment of Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) Vital Rates in Green and Burned Forests within a Pyrodiverse Landscape Mosaic

Creator:: Kerstens, Mark E.
Abstract:: Vital rates and population connectivity are fundamental concepts in animal ecology and such information is critical for successful conservation planning. The Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) is a species of conservation concern because of its strong association with forests recently burned by high-severity wildfire. However, several recent studies have found that...
