Western United States forest wildfire activity is widely thought to have increased in recent decades, yet neither the extent of recent changes nor the degree to which climate may be driving regional changes in wildfire has been systematically documented. Much of the public and scientific discussion of changes in western...
Understanding the relative influence of fuels and climate on wildfires across the Rocky Mountains is necessary to predict how fires may respond
to a changing climate and to define effective fuel management approaches to controlling wildfire in this increasingly populated region. The idea
that decades of fire suppression have promoted...
Forest-fire policy of U.S. federal agencies has evolved from the use of small
patrols in newly created National Parks to diverse policy initiatives and institutional arrangements
that affect millions of hectares of forests. Even with large expenditures and
substantial infrastructure dedicated to fire suppression, the annual area burned by wildfire...
The management of fire-prone forests is one of the most controversial natural resource issues in the US today,
particularly in the west of the country. Although vegetation and wildlife in these forests are adapted to fire, the
historical range of fire frequency and severity was huge. When fire regimes are...

Una de las herramientas más eficaces utilizadas por el Malheur Experiment Station durante las últimas dos décadas es el sensor matricial granular (o GMS por sus siglas en inglés), el cual mide la humedad del suelo. El sensor tiene sólo 7,5 cm de largo, y normalmente se entierra verticalmente en...
