SUMMARY:Site conditions constrain the influence of fire on regeneration of whitebark pine
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nJoin the Northern Rockies Fire Science Network and the Whitebark Pine Ecosystem Foundation for a joint webinar by Josh Beisel. Josh is a PhD candidate at the University of Montana studying tree-tree interactions\, impacts of shifting weather patterns on forest ecosystems\, and whitebark pine ecology. \nWhitebark pine (WBP) is well suited to regenerate following wildfires in subalpine forests; however\, questions remain regarding how fire may influence recruitment across its elevational distribution — especially as that distribution is predicted to shift as future weather may become warmer and dryer. \nTo investigate drivers of whitebark pine regeneration we used seedling and sapling count data collected from a 2×2 factorial study (burned and unburned sites in upper and lower elevation positions) within the treeline ecotone of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness\, MT/ID\, USA. WBP regeneration density was most strongly associated with higher elevations\, proximity to large adult WBP\, and increased density of heterospecific regeneration. While we found little evidence for a solitary effect of fire on WBP regeneration at our sites\, interactions between fire and topographic position suggest increased regeneration in burned sites on warmer aspects and steeper slopes. These findings highlight the nuanced effects of fire and the relative importance of elevation and suitable topoedaphic conditions for natural regeneration of WBP under current and future conditions.

SUMMARY:Aspen interactions with fire and wildfire spread in the southwestern US
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nFrom disease resilience to browse pressure\, recreational value to fire resistance\, aspen has been getting a lot of attention over the past few years. If you have ever wondered about how aspen interacts with fire or how aspen fits into fire planning and suppression\, please join us for this webinar from the Southwest Fire Science Consortium where we will dive into various aspects of fire-aspen interactions. Topics will include: the ability of aspen to slow fire growth and act as a firebreak\, fire radiative power/burn severity in aspen forests of the Southern Rockies\, and the relationship between stand composition and suppression strategies – whether fire lines are more likely to hold when built through aspen. \nSpeakers: Matt Harris\, Western Colorado University; Max Cook\, University of Colorado Boulder; and Trevor Carter\, Colorado State University

SUMMARY:A sensory portrait of wildland fire
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPeople usually focus on the visual aspects of fire\, and the smell of smoke\, but we rarely appreciate how we use\, or should use\, our other senses to describe or even identify fire effects. Sound is a fundamental part of our experience when interacting with the world around us and is so fundamental that we often forget to question what it is we are really hearing. Our long relationship with all aspects of fire\, including the sounds of fire\, are deeply intuitive and yet also elusive. What is creating the crackling sound we hear when vegetation burns? What is that sound really telling us about the exchange between vegetation and fire? What sounds are involved that lead to a safe or unsettling feeling when around wildland fire? In this Panel we will take a dive into the acoustical dance between vegetation and fire\, where is this sound really coming from and what is it really telling us\, and what else is going on besides what we hear.

SUMMARY:Collected writings on land conservation and public policy from late NRCS chief 1993-1997\, Paul Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nPaul Johnson was a forester by training who became a farmer\, Iowa state legislator\, and a national leader in sustainable agriculture and private lands conservation. As chief of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service from 1993 to 1997\, he helped develop and implement the conservation title of the 1996 Farm Bill\, established the Environmental Quality Incentive Program\, and implemented the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program to help landowners develop and improve high quality wildlife habitat for species of local and national significance. Upon his death in 2021\, the NRCS reminded employees of “Chief Johnson’s inspiring call to remember the deep connections between America’s private farm\, ranch\, and forest lands and the health and prosperity of the whole nation.” Join conservationist and historian Curt Meine\, author of a new book about Johnson (We Can Do Better: Collected Writings on Land\, Conservation\, and Public Policy)\, for a conversation about his work and legacy.

SUMMARY:Social science perspectives on the Resist-Accept-Direct (RAD) framework
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nThe RAD (Resist-Accept-Direct) framework helps managers navigate transforming ecosystems by defining a broad decision space that includes not only resisting ecological trajectories\, but also consciously accepting such change and/or directing trajectories towards preferred new conditions. RAD is intended to help managers intentionally expand their thinking beyond traditional conservation approaches. Recent interdisciplinary and cross-agency research has integrated the social sciences to explore how and why managers are making RAD decisions. This webinar will highlight findings and implications from panelists at the forefront of RAD research\, including how RAD: \n\n fits within broader agency adaptation planning\ncan inform wilderness management\nis being used by managers within and across jurisdictions\nraises ethical questions

SUMMARY:Northwest weed biocontrol in changing environments
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nWe will begin with a brief overview of weed biocontrol\, and then discuss how climate change may impact biocontrol systems at different stages of planning and implementation. Our speakers will highlight as examples the control agents and their host dynamics for Hypericum perforatum\, Lythrum salicaria\, and Reynoutria spp. \nThis event will also serve as the launching point for a working group to address knowledge gaps around Northwest biocontrol in a changing climate\, including modeling population dynamics and geographic distributions of agents under different climate scenarios and developing a framework for collecting data to disentangle climate impacts from other drivers of population dynamics. Other potential working group topics include disruption in the phenological synchrony of agent and host and evolutionary changes in response to climate change.

SUMMARY:Finding and defending grassland cores using spatial covariance
DESCRIPTION:Webinar join link (11 PST) \nGrasslands are an imperiled ecosystem\, and grassland bird abundance is declining across North America. One of the strongest drivers for these declines is woody plant encroachment of grasslands. In the Great Plains and Sagebrush biomes of North America\, spatial covariance—a remote sensing metric for tracking boundaries between vegetation types—is emerging as a new method to identify and strategize conservation of grassland cores in the face of woody plant encroachment. Here\, we use spatial covariance to predict responses of six declining grassland species\, including the iconic upland game bird Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginiana) responded to spatial covariance at three scales (0.81ha\, 7.29ha\, and 65.61ha) and tree cover in fragmented grasslands of Arkansas\, USA. Tree cover alone was poor predictor of grassland bird occupancy compared to models that included spatial covariance at the 0.81ha and 7.29ha scales. Grassland bird occupancy declined at tree‑grass boundaries (negative spatial covariance at the 0.81ha scale) and increased in grassland cores (near‑zero or slightly positive spatial covariance at the 0.81ha scale). Our results suggest that identifying grassland cores empowers defending core grasslands from woody plant encroachment and then growing cores via active restoration.

SUMMARY:Society for Range Management Annual Meeting 2026
DESCRIPTION:Conference website. \nJoin us in Monterey\, California\, February 7-11\, 2026 \nThe 2026 Society for Range Management annual meeting theme “Herd ’round the World” aims to elevate global awareness about the critical importance of healthy rangelands ecosystems and their contribution to economic prosperity\, sustainable livelihoods\, and food security throughout the world. “Herd ‘round the World’ celebrates the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists. Covering approximately 40% of the Earth’s land surface\, rangelands support the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people through pastoralism\, a livestock management system evolved over millennia to work with natural ecosystems. Meeting symposia\, presentation and poster sessions\, and workshops will highlight how pastoralists worldwide steward these vast landscapes\, drawing upon generations of ecological wisdom and adaptive management techniques. Traditional knowledge of pastoralist provides insights to address contemporary challenges including climate change\, biodiversity conservation\, and sustainable land management.

SUMMARY:US drought monitor 101
DESCRIPTION:Webinar registration. \nDuration: 1 hour – 35 minute presentation with 25 minutes for questions and answers \nAs part of a virtual webinar participants will learn about the U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM)\, the process behind how it is made and how they can be part of the process. The USDM is a weekly map showing the location and intensity of drought across the U.S. Unlike weather forecast maps that are looking forward in time\, the USDM is a “snapshot” and assessment of current conditions up to and including the current week. Each week a pool of 9 lead authors of the map start by reviewing data on precipitation\, temperature\, soil moisture\, streamflow\, drought indices\, and other indicators of the water cycle to determine areas which may need to be changed. It is not a cookbook or black box process as the map is made manually each week. Utilizing a network of local experts\, such as state climatologists and National Weather Service meteorologists who help to interpret how physical conditions are affecting people and places across the country\, the authors utilize their expert assessment but also incorporate observations from citizen scientists and crowdsourcing through platforms like CMOR or CoCoRaHS. \nDuring the webinar\, you will learn:\n• More about the USDM process\n• How you can contribute\n• How state assessment teams can coordinate input to the USDM authors.
