SUMMARY:Wildfire in the western US: Causes\, consequences\, and adaptation
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: A panel of experts will discuss why wildfires are on the rise\, the role of climate change\, the predicted fate of future forests\, and ways that at-risk communities can adapt. Large fires are becoming more frequent and severe across the western US. Since 1984\, annual burned forest area has increased by about 1\,100%. Lives\, property\, and livelihoods are routinely threatened and burned landscapes can be left ecologically transformed. What is causing recent trends in fire activity? What will forests of the future look like? How can modeling wildfires and forest response guide adaptation strategies? These are among the questions to be explored. Panelists will also discuss the importance of tailoring fire and forest management to the local context\, considering regionally specific factors like forest type\, environmental conditions\, and the presence of people. \nPanelists: Forest ecologist Winslow Hansen (Cary Institute)\, Fire ecologist Phil Higuera (University of Montana)\, and Natural resource sociologist Catrin Edgeley (Northern Arizona University).

SUMMARY:The buildup and the blowup
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nConflagrations like the 1871 Peshtigo have reemerged as important threats across North America and around the world. Understanding the factors and the phenomena that produced the fire environment of that day is possible because of weather observations collected and recorded at the time and studies of extreme fire behavior that continue to this day. Recounting it should be a cautionary tale for our lives as we continue to live them.

SUMMARY:Land use planning as a strategy for fire adapted communities
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: As communities across the U.S. face increasing threats from wildfire\, there is also a growing interest in land use planning as a strategy to reduce risk and foster more resilient outcomes. Land use planning provides a variety of tools\, such as growth management plans\, subdivision regulations\, or wildland-urban interface (WUI) codes that can be applied in wildfire-prone areas. These tools can support public safety and emergency response\, direct growth away from high hazard areas\, and can complement other fire adapted activities such as vegetation management. However\, selecting the appropriate tools and integrating them with other approaches often takes consideration of many factors—such as existing state requirements\, potential shifts in demographic and development patterns\, political will\, and enforcement capacity. This webinar will provide a brief history of planning in the WUI for context\, and highlight different planning tools and implementation strategies available to state and local governments—including examples from across the West. \nPresenter: Molly Mowery\, AICP\, Executive Director\, Community Wildfire Planning Center

SUMMARY:Fire-weather drivers of severity and spread: Learning from past fire patterns to inform future wildfire decision making
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nFire is an essential component in restoring and maintaining a healthy forest. However\, historic land use and decades of fire suppression has excluded fire from millions of forested hectares across much of the western United States\, including the Grand Canyon National Park. Forest restoration at the Grand Canyon aims to reduce wildfire vulnerability by applying fire to diversify or remove forest vegetation. However\, the cost\, complexity\, and concerns associated with managing fire for resource benefit requires that fire managers utilize and implement locally-relevant\, science-based knowledge to strategically identify when and where to use fire to produce the greatest benefits. This research specifically addresses the National Park Service\, Fire Management Leadership Board priority area of: Research that assists in removing stumbling blocks and hurdles for implementing fuels treatments and managing wildfires for resource objectives. We observed fire behavior in the Grand Canyon in conjunction with topographic variation and weather conditions to provide thresholds that affect fire severity and spread that may be beneficial or incompatible with multiple resource objectives. In doing so\, we also developed customized tools that can be used to assist with fire management planning and quickly identifying conditions likely to affect fire behavior at Grand Canyon National Park.

SUMMARY:Recent fire regimes of the bi-national Madrean Sky Islands: Implications for collaborative\, transboundary fire management
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nOverview: This webinar shares results of a recent study of contemporary fire regimes over a 32-year period (1985-2017) in the Madrean Sky Islands of the U.S. and México. During the study period 335 fires burned approximately 28% of the study area\, with re-burns occurring on over 25% of the burned areas. The greatest variation in fire regimes\, including fire size\, frequency\, and severity was observed in places with the most diverse human activities and land uses – particularly in the mountain ranges adjacent to the U.S.- México border. Average severity of recent fires was low despite some extreme outliers in cooler\, wetter environments. Fire frequency was also higher than historical expectations in these cool and wet environments that support forest types such as Spruce-Fir\, indicating threats to these systems possibly attributable to drought and other factors. In cooler and wetter environments in more remote areas of México\, pine-oak forests burned with fire frequencies close to historical. In contrast\, fires were absent or infrequent across large expanses of lower elevation Woodlands and Grasslands due possibly to overgrazing\, which reduces abundance and continuity of fine fuels needed to carry fire. Our findings provide a new depiction of fire regimes in the Sky Islands that can help inform fire management\, restoration\, and regional conservation planning\, fostered by local and traditional knowledge and collaboration among landowners and managers. \nPresenter: Dr. Miguel Villarreal\nCo-authors: José M.

SUMMARY:Fire science and management in an uncertain future: Tools and approaches for managing fire in future climates in the SW
DESCRIPTION:View workshop recording.  \nRead workshop summary. \nWorkshop purpose: Identify fire science and management needs and discuss tools and approaches to natural resource assessments and adaptation strategies for fire dynamics in future climates in Southwest (DOI Regions 8 & 10 [CA\, NV\, AZ]) bioregions. \nTake-Aways:\nProvide awareness of tools needed for decision-making in an uncertain future\nGenerate a list of new science actions to meet fire needs for practitioners/planners in future\, non-analog landscapes and communities\nSuggest how we might address and accomplish these identified needs going forward\nExchange Information\nMake connections \nThis four-hour\, virtual Summit was an abbreviated\, rescheduled version of ‘Building Bridges and Solutions: Partners in Facing Fire-Science Challenges’ that was cancelled in April due to COVID-19. We assembled scientists and fire practitioners/leaders in an interagency effort to identify fire science and management needs and to discuss decision-making tools and approaches that address resource assessments and adaptation strategies for fire dynamics in future climates in the Southwest (Department of Interior [DOI] Regions 8 and 10 [CA\, NV\, AZ]). This overriding goal threaded together the Summit’s talks\, Q&A\, and break-out sessions. Speakers from various agencies\, institutes\, and academia focused on fire management and planning in future non-analog landscapes and climate-fire-ecosystem impact relationships in western forest (e.g.\, mixed-conifer\, subalpine)\, desert (hot and cold\, grassland\, pinyon-juniper\, sage-steppe)\, and Mediterranean/chaparral bioregions. Syntheses from talks\, Mentimeter-conducted discussions\, and break-out groups on management and actionable-science needs will be summarized in a white paper and posted on the Southwest\, Great Basin\, and California Fire Science Exchange websites. Let’s work together to address fire science and management in an uncertain future!

SUMMARY:Thinking about adaptation: Exploring the Resist-Accept-Direct (RAD) framework
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nEcosystems are transforming under climate change\, with substantial shifts in ecological processes and important ecosystem services occurring at unprecedented rates. As systems approach socio-economic and ecological thresholds\, our current management toolbox has proved to be incomplete for conservation and the sustainable provision of ecosystem services\, including fisheries production and the wildlife habitat. Multiple approaches are therefore needed to address the varying uncertainties we face in this increasingly non-stationary world. Managers navigating ecosystem transformation can benefit from considering broader objectives beyond a traditional focus on resisting ecosystem change\, by also considering whether accepting change or directing it along a preferred pathway might be more appropriate (RAD framework).
