SUMMARY:Using weed-suppressive bacteria to control invasive annuals
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nCheatgrass and medusahead invasions pose a serious threat to Great Basin ecosystems. Managers and scientists are hopeful that strains of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens will be able to selectively inhibit root growth of annual weeds in more complex rangeland ecosystems. These weed-suppressive bacteria (WSB) are now commercially available in many states and have been applied on tens of thousands of acres across the Great Basin\, yet results are variable and largely unpublished\, indicating that much remains to be understood about when\, where and why WSB are or are not effective. This webinar features six speakers: Matt Germino\, USGS and Great Basin LCC; David Pyke\, USGS; Richard Lee\, BLM; Mike Gregg\, USFWS; Jane Mangold\, Montana State University\, and Brynne Lazarus\, USGS.

SUMMARY:Effects of grazing on sage-grouse and other shrub-steppe birds: A collaborative project to inform management of sage-steppe rangelands
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nGreater sage-grouse have declined since the mid-1960s\, and grazing is the most extensive land use within sage-grouse habitat. The webinar presents progress on a 10-year project designed to document the effects of cattle grazing on:  1) demographic traits of greater  sage-grouse; 2) sage-grouse habitat characteristics\, 3) insect abundance (important prey for sage-grouse chicks)\, and 4) abundance of all other bird species. The research team is working at five study sites in Idaho where they randomly assign BLM pastures to one of four grazing treatments that include spring-only grazing\, spring and fall grazing\, and no grazing. The research team includes Courtney Conway (Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit)\, Karen Launchbaugh (University of Idaho)\, David Musil (Idaho Department of Fish and Game)\, Andrew Meyers (University of Idaho)\, Paul Makela (Bureau of Land Management)\, and Shane Roberts (Idaho Department of Fish and Game).

SUMMARY:Recovery and adaptation after wildfire
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nBecoming a fire-adapted community that can live with wildfire is envisioned as a continuous\, iterative process of adaptation. Miranda Mockrin\, a research scientist with the Forest Service combined national and case study research to examine how experience with wildfire alters the built environment and community- and government-level wildfire mitigation\, planning\, and regulations. Research suggests that adaptation to wildfire through WUI regulations depends on multiple factors\, including past experience with fire and the geographic extent and scale of the fire event relative to the local community and its government. While communities did not often pursue changes in WUI regulations\, experience with wildfire was frequently cited as the impetus for other adaptive responses\, such as improving emergency response or fire suppression\, and expanding education and interaction with homeowners\, such as Firewise programs or government support for fuel mitigation on private lands.

SUMMARY:Modeling dynamic fuels with an index system: MoD-FIS in the Great Basin and southwestern US
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording \nThe LANDFIRE Program strives to produce consistent fire behavior fuel model grids for the U.S. These models are relevant for  predicting fire behavior\, including spread and intensity\, during average conditions; however\, they often fall short during drought or seasonably dry conditions. \nTo address the need for that information\, LANDFIRE developed a seasonal product named the Modeling Dynamic-Fuels with an Index System (MoD-FIS).  These provisional products have been released for the Southwest and Great Basin regions\, and are ready for testing and review by those who use LANDFIRE data. In this webinar\, Charley Martin and Tobin Smail offer a MoD-FIS primer\, explain how the products can be used in these regions\, and solicit users’ input and review. \nThis webinar was co-hosted by LANDFIRE and members of the Joint Fire Science Program: Great Basin Fire Science\, Southwest Fire Science\, and Northern Rockies Fire Science. Content addresses challenges that managers of large landscapes deal with in these regions.

SUMMARY:Relations among cheatgrass-driven fire\, climate and sensitive-status birds across the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nThis webinar highlights a project examining how projected changes in fire regimes and fire and fuels treatments may affect habitat quality for and probability of occupancy of sensitive-status breeding birds. Statistical change-point analyses will be used to detect any abrupt\, nonlinear temporal changes-thresholds-in projected vegetation cover\, habitat quality\, and occupancy. Detection of ecological thresholds\, if they exist\, may suggest fuels treatments and restoration actions that will decrease the probability of entering into or remaining within undesirable ecological states. Webinar speakers are: Erica Fleishman\, University of California Davis\, and Jimi Gragg\, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.

SUMMARY:Using climate and water models to examine future water availability and biodiversity in CA and the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nAs the predicted impacts of climate change are becoming more apparent\, natural resource managers are faced with the task of developing climate adaptation plans. These managers need state-of-the-art\, scientifically based information upon which to base these management plans and decisions consistently across California and the Great Basin. In this  webinar\, principal investigator Lorraine Flint\, USGS\, provides an overview of the project and emerging results. The project applies historical\, current\, and projected climate data to a regional water model to examine water availability\, biodiversity\, and conservation. Analysis of this climate and hydrology data will help managers understand areas in the region and landscape where the effects of climate change are expected to be the most profound. The study also addresses how the environment is likely to change and how certain the scientific community is about these changes. Collaboration among managers\, scientists\, conservation organizations\, and others will guide the utility\, understandability\, relevance\, and accessibility of the findings from this project.

SUMMARY:Interagency coordination to meet multiple objectives: An effective approach to wildfire
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nWhile the number of acres burned annually by uncharacteristic wildfire continues to grow\, it is becoming exceedingly important for agencies to identify opportunities to use wildfire to meet multiple land management and resource objectives.  When conditions allow for unplanned ignitions to be managed for one or more of these objectives\, it may be appropriate to use wildfire during the peak of the traditional fire season.  Management response to wildland fire on federal lands is based on objectives established in the applicable Land/Resource Management Plan and/or Fire Management Plan.  Objectives are affected by changes in fuels\, weather\, topography; varying social understanding and tolerance; and involvement of other governmental jurisdictions having different missions and objectives.  Coordination with resource specialists and development of mutually agreed to objectives is fundamental to being successful in achieving land and resource objectives with wildfire.  This webinar discusses recommendations for implementing this process using case studies incorporating Mexican spotted owl management objectives into wildfire management and post-fire monitoring. Presented by Shaula Hedwall\, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Wesley Hall\, Coconino National Forest.

SUMMARY:Effect of fuels management\, previous wildfire\, and fire weather on Rim Fire severity
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nLarge wildfire incidence has increased in forests throughout the western U.S. following changes in vegetation structure and pattern\, along with a changing climate. Given this increase there is great interest in whether fuels treatments and previous wildfire can alter fire severity patterns in large wildfires. The 255\,000 acre 2013 Rim Fire created an opportunity to study fuels treatment effects across a large forested landscape in the Sierra Nevada. We assessed the relative influence of previous fuels treatments (including wildfire)\, fire weather\, vegetation and water balance on Rim Fire severity. We did this at three different spatial scales to investigate whether the influences on fire severity changed across scales.

SUMMARY:Where there's smoke . . . there's social science! Public perceptions of smoke & communication from multiple regions
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nThis Joint Fire Science Program project used a case-study approach to examine what influenced smoke perceptions and to experiment with possible communication strategies. Key findings regarding smoke perceptions include the influence of the source of fire smoke\, the perceived trade-offs of risk vs. benefits from smoke\, and how respondents view smoke and fuel reduction activities. Observations on communication strategies and suggestions for future interactions with both the public and within agencies will also be discussed.

SUMMARY:Integrating natural hazard mitigation plans into local planning
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nLocal plans\, such as the comprehensive plan\, economic development plan\, and transportation plan\, establish policies that are intended to guide a community’s day-to-day land use decisions and capital facilities expenditures. These policies have a major impact on whether people and property are exposed to natural hazards as well as the extent to which they are vulnerable to injury and damage. Therefore\, it is imperative that these policies are based on best available hazard data\, including the nature of local hazards\, the vulnerability of people and property\, and the potential destruction that can be caused by these hazards. This hazard data is the foundation on which natural hazard mitigation plans are developed. \nJoin the FEMA Region 10 Mitigation Planning Team and guest speakers as they look at opportunities for integration\, review examples\, and identify resources to integrate plans into local plans.

SUMMARY:Returning fire to the land: Celebrating traditional knowledge and fire
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nIn this webinar\, Frank Lake\, Research Ecologist with the Pacific Southwest Research Station will present findings from workshops held in 2012 and 2014 to investigate how traditional and western knowledge can be used to enhance wildland fire and fuels management and research. The workshops engaged tribal members\, managers\, and researchers to identify challenges and formulate solutions regarding cross-jurisdictional work\, fuel reduction strategies\, and wildland fire management and research involving lands important to tribes. A key conclusion from the workshops is that successful management of wildland fire and fuels requires collaborative partnerships that share traditional and western fire knowledge through culturally sensitive consultation\, coordination\, and communication for building trust. Dr. Lake will present a framework for developing these partnerships based on workshop discussions.

SUMMARY:Federal fire managers' perceptions of the importance\, scarcity\, and substitutability of suppression resources
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nIn the United States\, multi-jurisdictional fire suppression demand is met by a national-scale pool of suppression resources that come from a variety of jurisdictions and provide a wide range of skills\, experience\, and associated mobility limitations and logistical needs. We designed and implemented an online survey of U.S. Forest Service employees who hold direct or indirect responsibility for ordering suppression resources; our main research objective was to identify the field’s perceptions of resource importance\, scarcity\, and substitutability. Importantly\, we asked questions to help distinguish between resources that are high value\, scarce\, and without substitutes versus ones that are low value\, readily available\, and highly substitutable. We hypothesized that resource ordering patterns change with elevated resource scarcity and that\, because of this\, true resource demand and frequent resource associations and substitutions are not reflected in dispatch summary reports. In this webinar\, we will present an overview of our survey results\, including future research and analysis plans. Additionally\, we will relate the discussion back to firefighter risk\, exposure\, and risk transfer themes. \nCrystal Stonesifer\, USDA Forest Service\, Rocky Mountain Research Station\, Human Dimensions\, presents.

SUMMARY:Using narrative stories to understand Traditional Ecological Knowledge in the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nThis pilot project used a method of naïve interviewing with tribal youths to gather narrative “micro stories” from elders and key tribal members and then answering a series of carefully constructed questions that allow participants to apply context and meaning to their stories. These questions were then analyzed quantitatively using correlational statistics to identify key themes and patterns across the narrative dataset. Webinar speaker is Tamara Wall\, Desert Research Institute

SUMMARY:Informing recovery through mitigation planning
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nA key goal of both hazard mitigation and recovery is increasing resilience. Although these two activities differ in many respects\, this shared objective of increased resilience allows mitigation and recovery planning to reinforce one another and leverage greater benefits within the development of plans\, and programs or projects. Because both mitigation and recovery planning can be carried out pre-disaster\, there is generally ample time to coordinate activities and promote more widespread attention to resilience. \nJoin the FEMA Region 10 Mitigation and Recovery Planning Team\, and guest speakers as they review opportunities for integration\, review examples\, and identify resources.

SUMMARY:Climate\, megafires\, and conservation financing
DESCRIPTION:Access webinar recording. \nJoin Climate Science for a discussion on how climatic changes can influence wildland fire activity across the globe and how these critical fire weather variables have changed over the last 40 years. \nThese changes in key weather variables have combined to both lengthen the fire season and increase the fire weather severity within the fire season. With more area burned each year\, the Forest Service is exploring innovate ways to finance conservation and restoration work. The Blue Forest Conservation’s Forest Resilience Bond invests in restoration projects that protect forest health\, mitigating both wildfire and drought risk. Contracting with both public and private beneficiaries to monetize the multifaceted benefits of forest restoration\, the Forest Resilience Bond creates value for a diverse set of stakeholders (including the US Forest Service\, water and electric utilities\, private water-dependent companies\, state governments\, and insurance companies).
