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...

Thinning with prescribed fire and timber harvesting mechanization for fuels reduction and forest restoration

Creator:: Matzka, Peter J.
Abstract:: In the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon, prescribed fire and mechanical harvesting economics were investigated for fuels reduction and forest restoration. Using a cut-to-length harvesting system, three single-grip harvesters and three forwarders produced significantly different production rates. For the harvesters, significant variables that affected production rates were found to be:...

The influence of prescribed fire on the rare endemic plant Delphinium pavonaceum (Peacock larkspur)

Creator:: McKernan, Brie-Anne
Abstract:: In the wetland prairie of William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge (FNWR) in western Oregon, we investigated the response of Delphinium pavonaceum Ewan (peacock larkspur, Ranunculaceae), an endangered perennial forb, to four unreplicated dormant season fire regimes of 0, 2, 4, or 10 fires that were applied over a 12-year...

Past tree influence and prescribed fire mediate bioticinteractions and community reassembly in agrassland-restoration experiment

Creator:: Halpern, Charles B., Antos, Joseph A., McKenzie, Donald, and Olson, Annette M.
Abstract:: Summary 1. Woody plant encroachment of grasslands is occurring globally, with profound ecological consequences. Attempts to restore herbaceous dominance may fail if the woody state is resilient or if intervention leads to an alternate, undesirable state. Restoration outcomes often hinge on biotic interactions – particularly on priority effects that inhibit...

Response of Conifer-Encroached Shrublands in the Great Basin to Prescribed Fire and Mechanical Treatments

Creator:: Miller, Richard F., Ratchford, Jaime, Roundy, Bruce A., Tausch, Robin J., Hulet, April, and Chambers, Jeanne
Abstract:: In response to the recent expansion of piñon and juniper woodlands into sagebrush-steppe communities in the northern Great Basin region, numerous conifer-removal projects have been implemented, primarily to release understory vegetation at sites having a wide range of environmental conditions. Responses to these treatments have varied from successful restoration of...

Vegetation response to prescribed fire in mountain big sagebrush ecosystems at Lava Beds National Monument, California

Creator:: Ellsworth, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic land use alterations such as livestock grazing and fire suppression have greatly altered sagebrush grasslands of the Great Basin, facilitating invasion of exotic annuals, increases in woody species, and losses of native species. Much of the current research surrounding wildland and prescribed fire in sagebrush dominated ecosystems has focused...

Prescribed fire effects on resource selection by cattle in mesic sagebrush steppe. Part 1: Spring grazing

Creator:: Clark, Patrick E., Lee, Jaechoul, Ko, Kyungduk, Nielson, Ryan M., Johnson, Douglas E., Ganskopp, David C., Chigbrow, Joe, Pierson, Fredrick B., and Hardegree, Stuart P.
Abstract:: Prescribed fire is commonly applied world-wide as a tool for enhancing habitats and altering resource-selection patterns of grazing animals. A scientific basis for this practice has been established in some ecosystems but its efficacy has not been rigorously evaluated on mesic sagebrush steppe. Beginning in 2003, resource-selection patterns of beef...

Prescribed fire effects on vegetation and arthropod dynamics, and sampling techniques in a Wyoming big sagebrush community

Creator:: Rhodes, Edward C.
Abstract:: In the western United States, sagebrush (Artemisia spp L.) dominated rangelands are extensive, accounting for approximately 63 million ha. The Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt. ssp. wyomingensis Beetle & Young) alliance is found in more xeric environments, occupying the largest area of the big sagebrush complex in areas within...

The Response of Ventenata dubia to Prescribed Fire and Ungulate Grazing on the Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Prairie

Creator:: Ridder, Luke W.
Abstract:: Ventenata dubia L. (ventenata) is an introduced, winter annual grass that has recently been raising concerns across the Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Prairie and the Palouse Prairie. It is well established now in pasturelands, croplands, and a variety of ecosystems including grasslands, sagebrush steppe, ponderosa pine forests and woodlands. Ventenata is...
