Assessing the effect of a fuel break network to reduce burnt area and wildfire risk transmission

Creator:: Oliveira, Tiago M., Barros, Ana M. G., Ager, Alan A., and Fernandes, Paulo M.
Abstract:: Wildfires pose complex challenges to policymakers and fire agencies. Fuel break networks and area-wide fuel treatments are risk-management options to reduce losses from large fires. Two fuel management scenarios covering 3% of the fire-prone Algarve region of Portugal and differing in the intensity of treatment in 120-m wide fuel breaks...

Impacts of repeated wildfire on long-unburned plant communities of the southern Appalachian Mountains

Creator:: Hagan, Donald L., Waldrop, Thomas A., Reilly, Matthew, and Shearman, Timothy M.
Abstract:: The infrequent occurrence of large wildfires in the southern Appalachian Mountains over the last several decades has offered few opportunities to study their impacts. From 2000 to 2008, five wildfires burned a large portion of the area in and surrounding the Linville Gorge Wilderness in North Carolina. Areas were burned...

Rebuilding and new housing development after wildfire

Creator:: Alexandre, Patricia M., Mockrin, Miranda H., Stewart, Susan I., Hammer, Roger B., and Radeloff, Volker C.
Abstract:: The number of wildland–urban interface communities affected by wildfire is increasing, and both wildfire suppression and losses are costly. However, little is known about post-wildfire response by homeowners and communities after buildings are lost. Our goal was to characterise rebuilding and new development after wildfires across the conterminous United States....

Objective and perceived wildfire risk and its influence on private forest landowners’ fuel reduction activities in Oregon’s (USA) ponderosa pine ecoregion

Creator:: Fischer, A. Paige, Kline, Jeffrey D., Ager, Alan A., Charnley, Susan, and Olsen, Keith A.
Abstract:: Policymakers seek ways to encourage fuel reduction among private forest landowners to augment similar efforts on federal and state lands. Motivating landowners to contribute to landscape-level wildfire protection requires an understanding of factors that underlie landowner behaviour regarding wildfire. We developed a conceptual framework describing landowners’ propensity to conduct fuel...

Is fire exclusion in mountain big sagebrush communities prudent? Soil nutrient, plant diversity and arthropod response to burning

Creator:: Davies, Kirk W., Bates, Jonathan D., Boyd, Chad S., and Nafus, Aleta M.
Abstract:: Fire has largely been excluded from many mountain big sagebrush communities. Managers are reluctant to reintroduce fire, especially in communities without significant conifer encroachment, because of the decline in sagebrush-associated wildlife. Given this management direction, a better understanding of fire exclusion and burning effects is needed. We compared burned to...

Allowing a wildfire to burn: estimating the effect on future fire suppression costs

Creator:: Houtman, Rachel M., Montgomery, Claire A., Gagnon, Aaron R., Calkin, David E., Dietterich, Thomas G., McGregor, Sean, and Crowley, Mark
Abstract:: Where a legacy of aggressive wildland fire suppression has left forests in need of fuel reduction, allowing wildland fire to burn may provide fuel treatment benefits, thereby reducing suppression costs from subsequent fires. The least-cost-plus-net-value-change model of wildland fire economics includes benefits of wildfire in a framework for evaluating suppression...

Exotic annual grass invasion alters fuel amounts, continuity and moisture content

Creator:: Davies, Kirk W. and Nafus, Aleta M.
Abstract:: Many exotic annual grasses are believed to increase wildfire frequency to the detriment of native vegetation by increasing fine fuels and thus, creating a grass-fire cycle. However, information on differences in fuel characteristics between invaded and non-invaded plant communities is lacking, or is based mainly on speculation and anecdotal evidence....

Ecological effects of alternative fuel-reduction treatments: highlights of the National Fire and Fire Surrogate study (FFS)

Creator:: McIver, James D., Stephens, Scott L., Agee, James K., Barbour, Jamie, Boerner, Ralph E. J., Edminster, Carl B., Erickson, Karen L., Farris, Kerry L., Fettig, Christopher J., Fiedler, Carl E., Haase, Sally, Hart, Stephen C., Keeley, Jon E., Knapp, Eric E., Lehmkuhl, John F., Moghaddas, Jason J., Otrosina, William, Outcalt, Kenneth W., Schwilk, Dylan W., Skinner, Carl N., Waldrop, Thomas A., Weatherspoon, C. Phillip, Yaussy, Daniel A., Youngblood, Andrew, and Zack, Steve
Abstract:: The 12-site National Fire and Fire Surrogate study (FFS) was a multivariate experiment that evaluated ecological consequences of alternative fuel-reduction treatments in seasonally dry forests of the US. Each site was a replicated experiment with a common design that compared an un-manipulated control, prescribed fire, mechanical and mechanical + fire...

Social science research related to wildfire management: an overview of recent findings and future research needs

Creator:: McCaffrey, Sarah, Toman, Eric, Stidham, Melanie, and Shindler, Bruce
Abstract:: As with other aspects of natural-resource management, the approach to managing wildland fires has evolved over time as scientific understanding has advanced and the broader context surrounding management decisions has changed. Prior to 2000 the primary focus of most fire research was on the physical and ecological aspects of fire;...

Colonization of the Pacific by Bembidion beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae), with description of Bembidion tahitiense, sp. nov., from Tahiti, French Polynesia

Creator:: Liebherr, James K. and Maddison, David R.
Abstract:: Bembidion (Sloanephila) tahitiense, sp. nov., is described from Mont Mauru, an isolated massif of Tahiti Nui volcano. Based upon evidence from seven genes (four nuclear protein-coding, one mitochondrial protein-coding, two nuclear ribosomal), its sister group is the Australian B. jacksoniense Guérin-Méneville, with which it shares a synapomorphic spur on the...
