SUMMARY:Vegetation type conversions in the southwestern US: Frontline observations and management responses
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nEcosystems of the western United States are experiencing vegetation type conversions (VTC) in response to land-use change\, climate warming\, and their interactive effects with wildland fire. VTC is one of the most pressing management issues in the southwestern US\, yet current strategies to intervene and address change often use trial-and-error approaches devised after the fact. This presentation discusses findings on VTC challenges\, management responses\, and outcomes from the collective experience of managers\, scientists\, and practitioners across the southwestern US. \nEcological reorganization across the region is not only extensive – it is complex\, predominantly driven by high-severity wildfire. By a large margin\, affected semi-arid forests convert to shrubland\, while chaparral and sagebrush areas nearly always convert to non-native grasses. Management interventions in VTC areas most often attempt to reverse changes\, although these efforts cover only a small portion of high-severity burn areas undergoing VTC. Efforts to facilitate VTC are rare but hold the potential to cover large spatial areas. \nThe presenter’s findings underscore that type conversion is a common outcome of high-severity wildland fire in the southwestern US. As the drivers increase with climate change\, VTC appears increasingly likely in many ecological contexts\, and may require management paradigms to transition as well.

SUMMARY:Post-fire logging in southern Colorado: Changes to post-fire recovery
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nFollowing a wildfire\, successful tree regeneration is mediated by multiple factors\, from the microsite to landscape scale. This presentation demonstrates the importance of microsite conditions such as soil moisture and temperature in predicting conifer tree establishment. The speakers examined the footprint and behavior of a large 2018 wildfire in southern Colorado to understand how fire severity and post-fire logging influenced stand structure\, fuels\, vegetation\, and soil microsite conditions. Their findings show that salvage-logged plots demonstrated lower daily average temperature and minimum soil moisture and higher fuel loading across most fuel size classes relative to unlogged plots\, which also corresponded with a loss of dead standing wood and little to no canopy cover. Early post-fire conifer regeneration was low across all plots\, but lower soil moisture and higher soil temperature negatively impacted the density of regeneration. Careful consideration of soil impacts and the associated changes to forest conditions should be taken when conducting post-fire logging to prevent detrimental effects on microsite conditions and forest recovery.

SUMMARY:PNW August 2022 Drought and Climate Outlook
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nAccording to the August 2\, 2022 U.S. Drought Monitor\, 39.5% of the Pacific Northwest Drought Early Warning System (DEWS) is in drought. A very wet spring and early summer has greatly improved conditions compared to March\, when over 70% of the region was in drought. However\, a large part of Oregon is still in Extreme (D3)/Exceptional (D4) Drought\, as are pockets in Idaho. This webinar will provide more information on the current conditions and outlooks\, as well as two presentations on OpenET. \nThese webinars provide the region’s stakeholders and interested parties with timely information on current and developing drought conditions\, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña. Speakers will also discuss the impacts of these conditions on things such as wildfires\, floods\, disruption to water supply and ecosystems\, as well as impacts to affected industries like agriculture\, tourism\, and public health.

SUMMARY:An Indigenous framework to guide research and restoration in fire-adapted landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Worldwide\, Indigenous peoples are leading the revitalization of their/our cultures through the restoration of ecosystems in which they are embedded\, including in response to increasing “megafires.” Yet\, despite growing recognition that just and effective conservation is only possible through partnerships with\, or led by\, Indigenous peoples\, decolonizing approaches to restoration have received insufficient attention. Further\, reconciliation will be incomplete without Indigenous-led restoration of Indigenous lands\, knowledges\, and cultures. In this webinar\, we will introduce the concept of “walking on two legs” to guide restoration scientists and practitioners in advancing the interconnected processes of Indigenous-led restoration and reconciliation in Indigenous territories. As an action-oriented framework articulated by Secwépemc Elder Ronald E. Ignace\, “walking on two legs” seeks to bring Indigenous knowledges into balance with western scientific knowledge in service of upholding an Indigenous stewardship ethic that is embedded in Indigenous ways of relating to land and embodies principles of respect\, reciprocity\, and responsibility. Grounding our discussion in the context of fire-adapted ecosystems of western Canada and unceded and traditional Secwépemc territory\, Secwepemcúl̓ecw\, we will share two case studies of collaborative and Indigenous-led research and restoration to demonstrate how “walking on two legs” provides a pathway to uphold respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples\, knowledges\, and territories through Indigenous-led restoration. \nPresenters: Marianne Ignace\,  Director\, Indigenous Languages Program and First Nations Language Centre\, Simon Fraser University \nSarah Disckson-Hoyle\, PhD candidate and Public Scholar\, Faculty of Forestry\, University of British Columbia

SUMMARY:Lightning fire occurrence prediction: Modelling for operational use
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWotton\, Canadian Forest Service\, explains lightning fire ignition and the important processes that determine the day-to-day variation of this important source of summertime fire activity in Canada. This presentation is for both academic and operational audiences in Canada’s wildfire community. \nExamples from models developed and used in Ontario’s fire occurrence prediction system were provided as well as some comparisons to similar model development in other regions of the country. Reviewing the history and operational use of these models in Ontario provides useful examples of the challenges and opportunities (and ultimately the long-term investment required) in getting research into operational use in wildland fire management. \n

SUMMARY:Westwide Fuel Assessment: June 2022 (S3 E3 of Reading the Tea Leaves)
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe cool wet spring across much of the northwestern US has created a sea of cheatgrass that has improved fuelbed continuity and fuel loading\, often exceeding 200 percent of normal. As a result we expect the potential for grass driven wildfires\, especially in the Snake River Plain\, eastern Washington\, northwestern Nevada and northeastern California to be at least average to considerably above average.

SUMMARY:Denver water and US Forest Service spent over $60 million to protect Denver's water supply. Did it work?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThis webinar presents research which provides insight on how the economic returns from proactive wildfire mitigation could be improved. The research team produced an economic assessment of Denver’s Forests to Faucets partnership\, a collaboration which invested >$60 million in wildfire mitigation projects between 2011 and 2019. The research\, combining wildfire modeling\, sediment modeling\, and primary and secondary data on economic values\, quantified the impact of the actual investments on multiple values at risk. Large benefits to source water protection and other values at risk resulted from these proactive investments but the benefits only exceed the costs of funding wildfire mitigation under certain conditions.

SUMMARY:Structural damage from wildfires in WUI communities
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDestructive wildfires are now a real threat in regions across the country and beyond what was once considered as the fire season\, examples of which are the 2016 Gatlinburg Fire in the Southeast and the 2021 Marshall Fire in late December. Existing wildfire risk assessment procedures typically use simulation modeling to quantify the wildfire exposure to wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities\, but rely on subjective estimates of the susceptibility of structures to fire in order to quantify risk. Thus\, there is a need to better understand and characterize the effectiveness of different mitigation actions related to individual structure features and community layout on the resilience of a WUI community to fire. This presentation discusses findings from the analyses of past wildfire events and introduces a streamlined model to capture fire spread inside WUI communities to quantify structural damage. The proposed model can be used to guide mitigation actions in existing and new communities\, and inform preparedness and response strategies by evaluating the likelihood of successful suppression based on the rate of fire spread.

SUMMARY:Engaging Indigenous communities in climate resilience research
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: This presentation discusses a partnership between the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (PLPT) in northern Nevada and a team of university-based scientists. The research team engaged PLPT stakeholder groups through workshops\, interviews\, and focus groups to understand how climate change and upstream pressures threaten PLPT ecosystems\, lands\, and resources. Stakeholders emphasized that climate change planning must be grounded in and informed by Indigenous knowledge practices and protocols\, in conjunction with decolonizing approaches to climate adaptation research that returns agency to the PLPT. \nPresenters: Schuyler Chew is Mohawk Wolf clan from Six Nations Grand River and grew up on the Tuscarora Nation. As an environmental scientist\, he is committed to partnering with Indigenous communities on climate adaptation research. His dissertation research on the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe’s resilience to climate change was funded in part by the Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center.\nKarletta Chief (Diné) is an Associate Professor and Extension Specialist in the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Arizona\, and is also the Director of the Indigenous Resilience Center (IRC). As an Extension Specialist\, she works to bring relevant water science to Native American communities in a culturally sensitive manner\, and at the IRC she aims to facilitate efforts of UArizona climate/environment researchers\, faculty\, staff\, and students working with Native Nations to build resiliency to climate impacts and environmental challenges.

SUMMARY:Returning fire to the land: Stewardship through traditional practices of the Séliš\, Qĺispé and Ksanka
DESCRIPTION:View video (7:05). \nFor thousands of years\, the vast majority of fires on the land were intentionally set by Indigenous Peoples of this region for a variety of reasons. Today\, on the Flathead Reservation in Western Montana\, the Division of Fire of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes’ Forestry Department is reclaiming a traditional relationship with fire on the landscape. Hear from the team about this work and how these fire dependent landscapes benefit from this holistic approach.
