SUMMARY:New findings on policy barriers and opportunities: Strategies for increasing prescribed fire application on federal lands from case studies in the US West
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPrescribed fire is an important management tool on federal lands that is not being applied at the necessary or desired levels. Since 2017\, we have been investigating policy barriers and opportunities for increasing prescribed fire application on US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands in the Western United States. In the first phase of our work\, we found that lack of adequate capacity and funding were the most commonly cited barriers to increasing application of prescribed fire\, and that successful approaches rely on collaborative forums and positions that allow for communication\, problem-solving\, and resource sharing among federal and state partners. In 2019\, we completed case studies of locations using unique strategies to increase application of prescribed fire in complex land management contexts. This webinar reports on the primary themes from these case studies\, highlighting specific examples of practice from different Forest Service and BLM units.

SUMMARY:Diversity is magic: Emerging issues in selecting appropriate native plant materials for ecosystem restoration
DESCRIPTION:Access webinar recording. \nSelecting species and seed from appropriate sources to maximize project success faces many challenges. This presentation will review plant selection for ecosystem diversity that supports economically and ecologically practical outcomes. Habitat degradation and loss have accelerated globally\, resulting in loss of biological diversity and species endangerment at unprecedented scales. Restoring habitats that provide ecosystem services necessary for all life is crucial. One of the biggest hurdles to habitat restoration is the availability of seeds of native plants to provide a diverse and resilient base of the food chain. Plant diversity is now clearly a fundamental driver of ecosystem services and the diversity of other organisms\, and native plant diversity is needed because invasive plants tend to reduce diversity and homogenize vegetation on the landscape. Seeding with native plants is one of the few reliable methods of restoring diversity at all levels\, even in the face of climate change and controversial novel ecosystems. Therefore\, selecting and sourcing the right plants for restoration sites is vital for the successful establishment of diverse and resilient native ecosystems. This presentation webinar will describe the results of recent published and unpublished research on local adaptation\, successful creation of diverse regional seed admixtures\, the importance of landscape context\, and innovative species selection strategies and tools.

SUMMARY:Woodland and tallgrass prairie restoration case studies
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nTwo speakers present restoration ecology research published in the January 2020 issue of the Natural Areas Journal: Leighton Reid shares understory plant community outcomes based on twelve years of monitoring in a woodland mosaic in Missouri as it underwent restoration via prescribed\, dormant-season burning and mechanical thinning of red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) and exotic shrubs. Reid’s case study suggests that understory plant recovery may be slower in harsher and more degraded sites and faster in more mesic sites within a woodland mosaic. Mike Leahy describes plant community changes documented over 20 years of prescribed fire\, herbicide treatments of invasive nonnative species\, and seeding of local ecotype prairie seed at Pawnee Prairie\, a 190-ha mix of remnant tallgrass prairie and formerly row-cropped prairie in Missouri. The prairie restoration practices resulted in significant gains in the natural quality of the site’s vegetation\, including a greater abundance of prairie flora matrix species and some conservative species.

SUMMARY:Listening to the flow: Discoveries from wildland fire acoustics
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nSound is a fundamental part of our experience when interacting with the world around us. So fundamental in fact\, that we often forget to question what it is we are hearing. Our long relationship with all aspects of fire\, including the sounds of fire\, are deeply intuitive and yet elusive. What is creating the crackling sound we hear when vegetation burns? What is it really telling us about the exchange between vegetation and fire? What is making all that “noise” near a fire that causes us to raise our voices as we work or turn to observe with a fresh sense of alert concern? What sounds are involved that lead to a safe or unsettling feeling around wildland fire? In this webinar\, I will take a deep dive into the crackling sound of fire; what is this sound really telling us\, where is it coming from\, and what else is going on besides what we hear?

SUMMARY:Assessing the Nation's Native Seed Supply
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe first goal of the National Seed Strategy (developed by the Plant Conservation Alliance and through an MOU of 12 federal agencies) is to assess the national public and private demand for native plants\, and the existing and potential capacity to supply them. The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine study is in the first phase of a two-part project to provide the holistic view needed to put the nation’s native seed supply on a more solid foundation. In the next phase\, input from organizations (states\, land trusts\, non-profits) that needs seeds for ecological restoration is needed. This presentation will aim to make the case for getting those entities to participate in the assessment.

SUMMARY:WildfireSAFE: A tool to provide rapid\, actionable intelligence to inform risk-based decision making for wildland fire operations
DESCRIPTION:USFS webinar recording. \nShort video. \nDescription: Webinar discusses safety tools for wildland firefighters. Safe and effective wildland firefighting operations require access to real-time\, actionable intelligence about the wildland fire environment. Historically\, this information has been difficult to collect and disseminate and failed to provide access to the best-available science to inform decision making. It describes the Severe Fire Danger Index (SFDI) and show how it is related to historical wildfire events that heavily impacted communities and firefighters and present a prototype for a simple\, mobile and web-based platform that can provide real-time access to SFDI\, fuels\, terrain and values-at-risk for every fire in the country. \nPresenter: Matt Jolly\, RMRS ecologist

SUMMARY:Invasive species control using goats
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe use of livestock to control undesirable vegetation is growing in popularity. However\, less is known about the pros and cons of this technique in comparison to other management methods\, such as herbicide\, cutting\, and burning. In this webinar\, Dr. Katherine Marchetto\, post-doctoral associate at University of Minnesota\, discusses her research on the effects of goat browsing on the invasive shrub common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and on overall plant diversity and composition. Dr. Marchetto focuses on two studies: 1. Experimental research assessing the viability of invasive buckthorn seeds after passing through goat digestive tracts\, and 2. A meta-analysis of 59 studies about the use of grazing animals in vegetation control. Gavin Deming\, executive director of Allegheny GoatScape\, and Jake Langeslag\, owner of Goat Dispatch\, LLC\, share their observations from the field and provide webinar attendees with practical information on grazing goats to control invasive species.

SUMMARY:Restoration and native plants
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Post-fire seeding has long been used to control erosion and suppress problematic invasive annuals like cheatgrass in dryland areas of the Great Basin. It is also a potential tool for restoring pre-fire vegetation by assisting successional processes. Non-native perennial plants have been widely seeded on account of their establishment ability\, competitiveness and forage value\, but may pose barriers to natural vegetation recovery. Seeding native species is a more sensible choice if restoration is a long-term objective\, but there is a question of both cost and whether native species will be as effective as non-natives in outcompeting invasive annuals. \nPresenters: Francis Kilkenny and Jeff Ott\, RMRS research biologists

SUMMARY:Selecting native plant material for restoration projects in different ecosystems: Successes and challenges
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Due to loss of natural ecosystems and biodiversity around the world along the past decades\, international initiatives are being developed to establish a foundation for the restoration of diverse ecosystems\, prioritizing ecosystem biodiversity and resilience while also recognizing impacts on rural livelihoods and carbon storage. As programs have become more refined\, a shift from revegetation with available material to using native plant materials of known genetic origin has been underway\, and achieving increasing priority at an international level. Through research and collaborative partnerships\, on local\, regional and international levels\, and between public and private sectors\, approaches are being developed that addresses the challenges in using native genetic plant material in ecological restoration. Four study cases from different geographic locations and climatic conditions were selected to demonstrate the successes in using native genetic plant material\, developing a baseline for native genetic resource management\, and meeting challenges according to every ecosystem’s limiting factors. In Jordan’s desert ecosystem a developed native seed strategy has majorly improved seedling quality and post-planting survival rate. In the tropical ecosystem of Guinea Conakry\, the major challenge is to identify best seed collection times and seed handling techniques to improve seed germination and propagation of native seedlings through seeds for the restoration of the Bossou corridor. Within Morocco’s Atlas Mountains\, an emphasis is being made on the development of a traceability system for native genetic plant material used in restoration projects\, considering the genetic variability within native species\, starting with Cedrus atlantica. In Lebanon\, considering the diverse ecosystems\, a scheme for the selection of native plant material is developed within every restoration project\, for dryland\, riparian or forest ecosystems. \nSpeaker: Karma Bouazza\, Lebanon Reforestation Initiative

SUMMARY:FIRE-BIRD wildlife habitat tool
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Webinar discusses discuss FIRE-BIRD\, an ArcGIS spatial tool for applying habitat suitability models for woodpecker species of concern to generate maps that inform forest management planning. FIRE-BIRD was developed to help managers make the best decisions for maintaining habitat of key wildlife species\, while still allowing economic benefits to local communities. Habitat suitability models can inform forest management for wildlife species of conservation concern. Models quantify relationships between known species locations and environmental attributes\, which are used to identify areas most likely to support species of concern. Managers can then limit negative human impacts in areas of high suitability or conduct habitat improvements in areas of marginal suitability. RMRS researchers developed FIRE-BIRD\, an ArcGIS toolbox\, to map habitat suitability for woodpeckers of conservation concern to help inform locations for management activities in predominantly dry coniferous forests of the Inland Northwest and Northern Sierras.. \nPresenters: Vicki Saab and Todd Cross\, RMRS researchers

SUMMARY:Southwest climate vulnerability
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Webinar discusses the vulnerability of southwestern landscapes to climate change. Climate change has created new challenges for resource managers with broad and often complex effects that make it difficult to accurately predict and design management options to minimize undesirable impacts.To address a gap in climate vulnerability assessments available for the Southwest\, Friggens and Triepke developed a modeling study for all major upland ecosystem types at spatial and thematic scales applicable to local administrative units and landscapes. \nVulnerability was determined by comparing the pre-1990 climate with the 2090 forecasted climate for all lands in Arizona and New Mexico. Results suggest the majority of lands in Arizona and New Mexico are highly vulnerable to future climate impacts\, but that vulnerability varies considerably by location and ecosystem type. \nPresenters: Megan Friggens\, RMRS ecologist and Jack Triepke\, FS southwestern region

SUMMARY:Managing for water: Lessons learned from watershed protection partnerships for wildfire risk reduction
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription:  Among the values at risk from wildfire are community drinking water supplies\, as forested watersheds on public land are often a primary or significant source of drinking water. In some places across the West\, watershed protection partnerships have formed to address this threat by bringing together the stakeholders of these watersheds for collaborative planning and investment in source water protection. This webinar will explore the concept of watershed protection partnerships and how they span organizational boundaries for collective action to address wildfire and other risks. We will offer lessons learned from how these partnerships have been implemented in Colorado and New Mexico\, and direct implications and applications for communities in Oregon. \nPresenters: Heidi Huber-Stearns\, University of Oregon; Emily Jane Davis\, Oregon State University
