SUMMARY:Invader impact on soil ecosystems – what every restoration practitioner should know
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Plant invasions cause dramatic shifts in plant communities and ecosystem processes. While these changes are obvious aboveground\, less is known about changes belowground. Focusing on the most significant invaders in our area in the Intermountain West of the United States\, this seminar will highlight how spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe)\, leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula)\, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and sulfur cinquefoil (Potentilla recta) alter soil microbial communities and nutrient cycles\, and what the consequences of these shifts might be for restoration. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ylva Lekberg is a soil ecologist at MPG Ranch and an adjunct professor at University of Montana. Her research focuses on structural and functional shifts in soil ecosystems associated with plant invasions\, and how these changes may affect restoration success. Prior to her work in invasion biology\, Ylva explored the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in subsistence farmers’ fields in Sub-Saharan Africa\, coastal grasslands in Denmark and geothermal areas in Yellowstone.

SUMMARY:Effects of policy change on wildland fire management strategies
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nIn 2009\, new guidance for wildland fire management in the United States expanded the range of strategic options for managers working to reduce the threat of high-severity wildland fire\, improve forest health and respond to a changing climate. Markedly\, the new guidance provided greater flexibility to manage wildland fires to meet multiple resource objectives. We use Incident Status Summary reports to understand how wildland fire management strategies have differed across the western US in recent years and how management has changed since the 2009 Guidance for Implementation of Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy. When controlling for confounding variation\, we found the 2009 Policy Guidance along with other concurrent advances in fire management motivated an estimated 27 to 73% increase in the number of fires managed with expanded strategic options\, with only limited evidence of an increase in size or annual area burned. Fire weather captured a manager’s intent and allocation of fire management resources relative to burning conditions\, where a manager’s desire and ability to suppress is either complemented by fire weather\, at odds with fire weather\, or put aside due to other priorities. We highlight opportunities to expand the use of strategic options in fire-adapted forests to improve fuel heterogeneity.
