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.

SUMMARY:Co-managing wildfire risk across boundaries (CoMFRT)
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWildfire risk is shared across landscapes\, ownerships\, and administrative boundaries. Consequently\, successful efforts to mitigate this risk depend on coordination of individual and collective actions across sets of public and private institutions and individuals associated with managing components of fire-prone landscapes. We need to understand how these diverse sets of actors\, including individual residents\, communities\, non-profit organizations\, and local\, state\, tribal\, and federal agencies can and do interact and make decisions that affect fire and risk based on their rules\, processes and social norms. Initiated in 2017\, the Co-Management of Wildfire Risk Transmission Partnership (CoMFRT) brings together wildfire researchers\, practitioners and decisionmakers to co-produce knowledge and actionable recommendations to support people and institutions successfully working together across scales and circumstances to best mitigate fire risk and build adaptation to wildfire. This presentation will provide an overview of the CoMFRT Partnership\, key results and recommendations to date\, and next steps all designed to underscore approaches for a variety of actors responsible for managing wildfire risk to better live with fire.

SUMMARY:When wildfire hits: One community's journey to recovery
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nLast summer’s wildfire events impacted many Oregonians. These events reminded us of how important it is to plan and be prepared for wildfire. Planning and preparing for wildfire can feel like a massive endeavor. What can we do? Who can help? How do we continue to build wildfire adapted and prepared communities? Every community is unique; however\, you are not alone. We can learn from our neighbors whether they are next door\, across the state or even in a different state. \nFor this webinar\, we invited our neighbors from southwest Colorado to tell us their story. Join us and learn how one community was affected by wildfires in 2002 and their journey to come together\, rebuild\, and take the action needed to save their lives and property from wildfire and the impact their actions had on wildfires in their neighborhoods since. \nWhat you will learn: \n– How other communities in the west have adapted to living in a wildfire environment\n– Tools and resources available to help you prepare for wildfire\n– How to engage your neighbors and build capacity to strengthen your wildfire adapted community

SUMMARY:Wildland stories: Dendochronology with Dr. Justin DeRose
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDendrochronology: The trees that surround us have a story to tell\, yet so many of us have no idea what that story is. What is dendrochronology? How old is the oldest recorded tree? Can trees get scars? Where are some of the oldest forests located? These are just some of the questions we aim to answer with our guest Dr. Justin DeRose\, Assistant Professor of Silviculture and Applied Forest Ecology at Utah State University.

SUMMARY:Rx burn associations: Different models for different places
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThere is broad understanding and agreement lately that there is a need to substantially increase the use of prescribed fire to create landscape resiliency\, protect communities and ensure a safe and effective wildfire response. In response\, more and more Prescribed Burn Associations are forming. Please join us as we visit with nine practitioners involved with Prescribed Burn Associations to learn about their models for implementation\, their challenges and successes\, and how you might start a similar organization where you live.
