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...

Spatial patterns of fuel management activities and their effects on wildfire behavior

Creator:

Kim, Young-Hwan

Abstract:

Fuel management has been used as an effective local strategy to reduce the undesirable consequences of wildfires. Many efforts toward scheduling of fuel management activities across a broader landscape have been proposed, with the hope of achieving larger landscape-scale management effects. However, scheduling of fuel management treatments across the broader...

The effects of two fuel reduction treatments on chaparral communities in southwest Oregon

Creator:

Sikes, Kendra G.

Abstract:

Fuel reduction treatments are being applied to public lands, affecting significant acreage at considerable expense. This study compares the short term effects on a chaparral plant community of two different fuel reduction methods, brush mastication and "hand piling and burning" (HPB). Ceanothus cuneatus dominated the southwestern Oregon study sites where...
