SUMMARY:Natural Range of Variation (NRV) in the montane conifer forests of southern California
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWe conducted a natural range of variation (NRV) assessment of montane conifer forests in the Transverse and Peninsular Mountain Ranges of southern California. Using current and historical literature and data\, we present a quantitative analysis of forest function\, structure\, composition\, and ecological processes prior to Euro-American settlement and compare those elements to the forests of today. We highlight how grazing\, logging and fire suppression have altered natural fire regimes and examine how departure from NRV conditions may inform forest management in the era of climate change.

SUMMARY:Linking heterogeneity at the WUI to wildfire dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe complex interactions between atmospheric and fire-induced winds are a persistent obstacle to accurately predicting wildfire front behavior. There are a multitude of wildfire spread models\, with one primary distinction being the level of fire-atmosphere coupling in each. Coupling of fire-induced winds and ambient winds in numerical models is carried out through linking the heat and mass fluxes from the wildfire with the surface energy fluxes in the atmospheric model. The challenge in this coupling is increased with the introduction of heterogenous surface conditions\, e.g.\, terrain\, canopies\, buildings. To better understand the dynamic coupling of fire-induced winds and atmospheric winds at microscales\, the fast-response wildfire model QES-Fire was used to study the effects of fire-induced winds near structures\, and the relative importance of the momentum deficits caused by canopies and structures on fire-induced winds.

SUMMARY:Developing a next-generation wildland fire intelligence platform
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThere is a compelling business case for additional investment in enhanced data acquisition and analysis to better assess the safety and effectiveness of wildfire management. As a result of long-standing data gaps\, fire management organizations cannot recreate what happened during fire operations\, leading to persistent challenges in: (1) demonstrating the nature and magnitude of suppression investments\, (2) assessing what did and didn’t work\, (3) improving future effectiveness based on what was learned\, and (4) understanding and preventing firefighter injuries and deaths. Credible analysis of the safety and effectiveness of wildfire management requires a clearer understanding of strategic\, tactical\, and operational objectives. Further required is information on firefighting resource location and use at high-resolution spatial and temporal scales. To facilitate timely analysis\, the relevant data need to be archived\, digital\, accessible\, and searchable. In December 2021\, RMRS entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with a private company\, Ignis Technologies\, interested in capturing and availing better real-time data and analytics around wildland firefighting response and resource use. We agreed on common goals of (1) enhancing situational awareness with cutting-edge technology and (2) amassing historically elusive data needed to advance research into suppression effectiveness and performance measurement in wildland fire management. This agreement provides a vehicle for greater collaboration with the interagency fire data community. We are currently working with interagency representatives of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group and Wildland Fire Information Technology to ensure that the data captured through our collaborative efforts are incorporated into the Interagency Data Management Environment (IDME)\, which is a modern architecture that enables governed\, self-service analytics across wildland fire.

SUMMARY:Outcomes of spatial targeting in sagebrush country via the Sage Grouse Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe sagebrush biome is one of the largest habitat types in North America\, spanning 175 million acres and home to sage grouse and 350 other species. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) launched the Sage Grouse Initiative in 2010 to deliver win-win voluntary conservation solutions that support ranchers and other landowners in improving the productivity of their working lands while benefiting sage grouse. The Initiative has successfully addressed key threats impacting sage grouse by focusing on population core areas. Science has helped strategically guide\, refine\, and inform these voluntary\, private lands conservation efforts across 11 western states.

SUMMARY:The Oregon state wildfire hazard map
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nTo enhance Oregon’s wildfire resilience\, the State Legislature passed the 2021 SB 762 Omnibus Wildfire Bill that enacted recommendations from the Governor’s 2019 Wildfire Council. This included a $220M investment in landscape resilience\, suppression response\, as well as some new regulations for the home ignition zone for community protection. Upon release of a map showing statewide hazard\, there was a significant public outcry\, often based on misunderstandings or misinformation\, that ultimately led to the map being rescinded and reworked. Join us for this webinar\, where we will explore the broader intent of the legislation\, its requirements for mapping\, where the effort stands today\, and what we continue to learn from the public’s reaction.

SUMMARY:New standards of practice to guide ecosystem restoration: Views from science and practice
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) has co-authored a new set of “Standards of Practice to Guide Ecosystem Restoration”\, launched this year in partnership with the FAO and IUCN-CEM as a contribution to the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Furthermore\, various principles and standards guidance have been released or are under development since 2019\, including the WWF-SER Mediterranean forest project certification standards\, aiming to verify the quality of field-based restoration projects\, providing guidance\, structure\, and an auditing process for ecological restoration. \nIn this SUPERB/IUFRO Forest Restoration Talk\, organised in collaboration with SER\, George Gann\, SER’s International Policy Lead\, presents an overview of the new Standards of Practice including insights from the Mediterranean project\, discussing how these can support the design\, implementation\, and funding of restoration actions. \nHe is joined by Dr.Michael Kleine\, Deputy Executive Director & Coordinator at IUFRO’s Special Programme for Development of Capacities\, who provides views from a science and training perspective with reference to existing forest-related restoration guidelines\, sharing experiences with implementing some of these on the ground.

SUMMARY:Prescribed burns as a tool to mitigate future wildfire smoke exposures
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nCatastrophic wildfires in the western United States pose significant risks to public health\, infrastructure\, and ecosystems. As these wildfires become more frequent\, there is a growing need for a common methodology to identify suitable locations for prescribed burning aimed at mitigating future wildfire impacts to affected populations and ecosystems. This presentation explores the use of atmospheric chemistry transport modeling\, satellite observations\, and data from land managers to assess the effectiveness of prescribed burning interventions in reducing potential future wildfire smoke exposure. The presenter will offer lessons for states and rural environmental justice communities through a discussion on how implementing preventative prescribed burns in heavily forested areas such as Northern California and the Pacific Northwest may yield substantial net benefits for air quality across the entire western US\, while similar interventions in other states would result in comparatively smaller impacts.

SUMMARY:Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment (CO-WRA)- Overview and technical discussion
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of the major changes in CO-WRA\, including modification of Scott and Burgan (2005) standard fire behavior fuel models to better reflect fuel types in Colorado\, incorporating LiDAR to produce higher spatial resolution data products\, and advanced wildland-urban interface risk analysis. Presenters will explain how these datasets and information can be used to: (1) increase public awareness about wildfire risk; (2) support wildfire risk reduction efforts\, decision-making\, and research from state to local scales; (3) identify high priority areas; (4) assist in the development of Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) and other hazard mitigation plans; and (5) complement forest stewardship and forest management plans.\nAfter a brief review\, presenters will explore discussions and questions from participants to address technical issues.

SUMMARY:Rising from ashes: A tribe’s nature-based approach to watershed restoration
DESCRIPTION:Workshop webpage. \nRising from Ashes: A Tribe’s Nature-based Approach to Watershed Restoration will highlight an innovative and iconic case study in public and private collaboration on sovereign tribal lands following a series of catastrophic wildfires. Given the increasing frequency of these fires\, there is a vital need to mitigate destruction through preemptive nature-based restoration practices before disaster strikes. By collaborating with federal agencies and other partners to incorporate indigenous knowledge and values into the recovery planning process\, the Santa Clara Pueblo is working to achieve long-term\, sustainable resiliency of the watershed. \nThe purpose of this Stewardship in Action Field Workshop is not simply to share what was learned by the Santa Clara Pueblo and their many partners\, but also to engage land and water management practitioners from tribal nations\, federal and state agencies\, and nonprofit organizations from around the continent to share information and leverage success for the benefit of local communities. \nThe agenda features three days of content featuring both indoor presentations and field experiences. Sessions will explore public and private collaboration on sovereign tribal lands\, process-based restoration and watershed resilience\, forestry and fire management\, sediment stabilization\, native plant restoration\, indigenous knowledge\, nature-based solutions\, and preparing for future climate impacts by working together.
