SUMMARY:3D fuel characterization for modeling of wildland fire behavior and smoke
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nRapid advancements in wildland fire modeling are promoting innovations in how we characterize and map wildland fuels. Before these models can be widely used\, more research on fuel characterization and mapping methods is needed to support3D model inputs. The 3D Fuels Project is characterizing surface and canopy fuels on pine-dominated sites in the southeastern and western United States and western grasslands that represent fuels commonly characterized for prescribed burning. Through this project\, researchers are developing a library of tools and datasets to leverage multi-scale estimates of 3D fuel structure and consumption that can be used directly within models of fire behavior and smoke production.

SUMMARY:Managing post-fire\, climate-induced vegetation transitions
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWarmer\, drier and longer fire seasons in the Northwest have led to larger and more frequent wildfires. These changes in fire activity\, combined with warmer and drier post-fire conditions\, have in turn led to growing concern that in some areas of the Northwest\, particularly in forests and shrublands east of the Cascade Range\, existing plant communities may face difficulty regrowing and persisting following fire.

SUMMARY:Pollinator-friendly plants for restoration
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPollinators are essential to the survival and health of natural ecosystems but are declining worldwide. Because of this\, there is urgent need to restore pollinators and the services they provide. One way to address this need is to use pollinator-friendly plants in revegetation projects (roadsides\, fire rehabilitation\, etc.)\, but land managers lack information about which plants are best for pollinators. RMRS and partners at Montana State University are assessing the pollinator-friendliness of native plant species that are available for revegetation in Montana to produce a guide identifying the best species mixes to support the greatest number of species and abundance of pollinators. We found that plant species vary widely in the abundance\, diversity\, and community of pollinator species that each attract. However\, several plant species are superstars that are visited by most pollinator species across a diversity of habitats. These focal-plant species can form a backbone in seed mixes to successfully restore diverse and stable plant and pollinator communities.

SUMMARY:Native American fire management at an ancient WUI
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nAs residential development continues into flammable landscapes\, wildfires increasingly threaten homes\, lives\, and livelihoods in the wildland–urban interface (WUI). Although this problem seems distinctly modern\, Native American communities have lived in WUI contexts for centuries. When carefully considered\, the past offers valuable lessons for coexisting with wildfire\, climate change\, and related challenges. This webinar will show that ancestors of Native Americans from Jemez Pueblo used ecologically savvy intensive burning and wood collection to make their ancient WUI resistant to climate variability and extreme fire behavior. Learning from the past offers modern WUI communities more options for addressing contemporary fire challenges. Public/private–tribal partnerships for wood and fire management can offer paths forward to restore fire-resilient WUI communities.

SUMMARY:Fire severity: Mapping past fires and predicting the future
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nArea burned by wildland fire has been increasing since the mid-1980s across much of the US. But the effects of fire on vegetation and soil – what we call burn severity or fire severity – is maybe the more important measure\, ecologically speaking. Stand-replacing\, or high-severity fire\, for example\, is more likely than low-severity fire to negatively impact ecosystems by increasing post-fire erosion potential\, catalyzing conversions from forest to non-forest\, and reducing carbon stocks. While high-severity fire has its place in the natural cycles of some ecosystems\, it also can pose societal problems by jeopardizing human safety and infrastructure. In this webinar\, we will briefly describe new approaches to mapping the severity of past fires using satellite imagery and cloud-based computing. The main focus of this webinar\, however\, will highlight recent advancements in modeling and predictive mapping of near-future burn severity; the mapped products predict the probability of high-severity fire\, if a fire were to occur. Maps characterizing fire severity\, whether they characterize past fires or represent predictions of the near-future\, provide important information for managers and scientists who are tasked with managing fuel and wildland fire.

SUMMARY:Rangeland Analysis Platform: Integrating production and economics into area-wide planning
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Rangelands produce ecosystem services that not only support biodiversity and wildlife\, but also sustain livestock operations and rural economies. Woody encroachment is a threat to rangeland productivity\, but its impact is often overlooked due to its slow pace and the positive public perception of trees. The Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) is an innovative online tool that combines current and historical satellite imagery with thousands of on-the-ground vegetation measurements to facilitate an exploration of trends in western vegetation over time. Using RAP’s recently developed remotely sensed products of rangeland production\, we quantify the amount of forage lost to woody encroachment across western rangelands over the past three decades. Translating these losses into dollars\, we demonstrate how this knowledge can be integrated into area-wide planning to stop further economic loss and prevent wholescale ecosystem transitions. \nPresenters: Brady Allred (University of Montana) and Dirac Twidwell (University of Nebraska-Lincoln).

SUMMARY:Linking research and management to improve native plant restoration in NV
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Native plant diversity is the hallmark of a healthy ecosystem. In Nevada\, our native plant communities are threatened by the accelerated invasion of non-native species\, altered fire regimes\, grazing\, drought\, and climate change. Slowing and reversing this largescale conversion requires coordinated efforts between researchers and land managers\, working collaboratively to identify the most promising seed sources for restoring disturbed and invaded sites. The Nevada Native Seed Partnership is a group of state\, federal\, university\, and nonprofit partners working together to increase the availability and use of native seed for rehabilitation\, reclamation\, and restoration activities in Nevada. This presentation will highlight some of the science and restoration efforts this partnership has accomplished to date to restore and preserve our most impacted native plant communities. \nPresenter: Sarah Kulpa is the Restoration Ecologist/Botanist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Reno\, Nevada. Her work focuses on Great Basin sagebrush ecosystem restoration and threatened and endangered plant species. Sarah leads the native seed collection\, increase\, and restoration activities of the Reno FWS including mentoring the first FWS Seeds of Success team and helping establish the Nevada Native Seed Partnership. She received her M.S. in Natural Resources and Environmental Science from the University of Nevada\, Reno and her B.S. in Biology from St. Michael’s College.

SUMMARY:Dirt goes downhill: Are we making better post-wildfire erosion control treatment decisions?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nMajor concerns after wildfires are the increased runoff and erosion due to loss of the protective forest floor layer\, loss of water storage\, and creation of water repellent soil conditions. To reduce the potential postfire erosion and flooding\, various postfire mitigation treatments are commonly used on highly erodible areas when downstream values-at-risk are high. We have developed numerous online soil erosion prediction tools to allow for better post-fire land management decision-making. We have validated our model predictions with field studies throughout the Western US that encompass a range of rainfall regimes including monsoonal rains in the southwest (Arizona and New Mexico)\, thunderstorms in the Colorado Front Range and Northern Rockies\, and wet frontal systems in Southern California and various erosion control treatments. For example\, mulch treatments (agricultural straw\, wood strands\, wood shreds) reduce erosion and can be effective even for the higher intensity rainfall events. Our research results have brought a major shift in post-wildfire assessment methods and erosion management strategies.

SUMMARY:Using information from global climate models to inform policymaking
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Climate change is a risk management challenge for society because of the uncertain consequences for natural and human systems across decades to centuries. Climate-related science activities within the USGS emphasize research on adaptation to climate change. This research helps inform adaptive management processes and planning activities within other DOI bureaus and by DOI stakeholders. \nGlobal climate models are sophisticated numerical representations of the Earth’s climate system. Research groups from around the world regularly participate in a coordinated effort to produce a suite of climate models. This global effort provides a test bed to assess model performance and analyze projections of future change under various prescribed climate scenarios. These climate scenarios describe a plausible future outcome associated with a specific set of societal actions. Examining a range of projected climate outcomes based on multiple scenarios is a recommended best practice because it allows decision makers to better consider both short- and long-term risks and opportunities. \nPresenter: Adam Terando\, Research Ecologist\, Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center

SUMMARY:PhenoMap: Providing weekly vegetation development monitoring for effective management
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nSatellite data can provide weekly updates of phenology (NDVI\, a measure of “greenness”) at a resolution of 15 acres. The PhenoMap web map was created to place these greenness images in an interactive format for managers to view local and regional changes in phenology. PhenoMap also helps to place current values of greenness in a historical context so managers can understand how this week’s value compares to previous year greenness values for the same week. In order to see how well the satellite data was capturing “green-up” and “brown-down”\, satellite data was compared to cameras capturing changes in phenology in the various vegetation types of the western United States. Additional effort has also been made to compare the satellite data to grass development using rangelands in western South Dakota as a model grassland system. We will introduce the PhenoMap tool and share results from these validation efforts.

SUMMARY:The effects of prescribed fire on wildfire regimes and impacts
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPrescribed fire can result in significant benefits to ecosystems and society. Examples include improved wildlife habitat\, enhanced biodiversity\, reduced threat of destructive wildfire\, and enhanced ecosystem resilience. Prescribed fire can also come with costs\, such as reduced air quality and impacts to fire sensitive species. To plan for appropriate use of prescribed fire\, managers need information on the tradeoffs between prescribed fire and wildfire regimes. In this study\, we argue that information on tradeoffs should be presented at spatial and temporal scales commensurate with the scales at which these processes occur and that simulation modeling exercises should include some realistic measure of wildfire probability. To that end\, we synthesized available scientific literature on relationships between prescribed fire and wildfire regimes\, and their associated ecological and societal effects\, focusing specifically on simulation modeling studies that consider wildfire probability and empirical and modeling studies that consider prescribed fire and wildfire regimes at spatial and temporal scales beyond individual events.

SUMMARY:Seeds of Success: Fort Belknap Indian community BLM-SER restoration program
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nThe Fort Belknap Indian Community (FBIC) Native Seed & Grassland Restoration Program was designed to meet DOI\, BLM\, and Plant Conservation and Restoration Program Strategic Goals\, via partnerships with FBIC and the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER). Launched in 2019\, and led by an Indigenous PI\, this Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)-based program focuses on developing genetically appropriate native plant material for habitat restoration; inventorying and prioritizing plant populations; and implementing and assessing restoration efforts through monitoring. Working on BLM lands\, in consultation with Aaniiih and Nakoda elders and employing and empowering tribal youth\, we are using Assessment\, Inventorying\, and Monitoring (AIM) protocols to identify plant populations\, and then making collections from them for the Seeds of Success (SOS) program. Our long-term goal is to empower FBIC in creating a community-led greenhouse program to grow out native seeds\, focusing on culturally significant species\, thereby benefitting the community financially in increasing BLM Stock and Foundation seed amounts to use on larger programs and for restoration of FBIC and other Native American lands. FBIC has invited us to expand seed collection onto FBIC land\, to help the community advance restoration efforts of degraded rangelands to support Greater sage-grouse and bison conservation.
