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:Predicting severe fire potential across the US with the FIRESEV project
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Burn severity is the ecological change resulting from wildland fires. Areas burned with high severity are of concern to land managers and others because postfire vegetation\, soil\, and other important ecosystem components can be highly altered. Using satellite-derived maps of burn severity for almost 12\,000 fires\, researchers at the US Forest Service\, Rocky Mountain Research Station developed statistical models to describe the spatial distribution of high-severity fire and produce a predictive map of severe fire potential for the contiguous United States. In this webinar\, hear about methods used in this study and how the results and data products can be useful to scientists and land managers. \nPresenter: Greg Dillon\, Spatial Fire Analyst\, U.S. Forest Service

SUMMARY:Role of risk management prioritization decision support tools
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPresenter: Melanie Colavito\, Ecological Restoration Institute \nDescription: The Ecological Restoration Institute recently completed a project analyzing the use and adoption of wildfire risk assessment and fuels treatment prioritization methods and products—broadly referred to here as decision support tools (DSTs)—by federal land managers. There is a need to demystify the topic of spatial fire planning specifically with respect to assessing wildfire risk and determining areas for fuels treatment prioritization to facilitate effective development and use of DSTs for pre-fire planning. We used semi-structured interviews with key informants to identify common DSTs for assessing wildfire risk and treatment planning and prioritization\, approaches for the development and transfer of DSTs\, examples of DST uses\, common barriers and facilitators in the development and use of DSTs\, and recommendations for facilitating the development and use of DSTs. Although there were many barriers identified to the effective development\, integration\, and use of DSTs in pre-fire planning\, interview respondents had numerous recommendations for improving this process. We hope these recommendations can help shape the perspectives of science\, management\, and decision-making audiences for how to improve the use of DSTs for wildfire risk assessment and treatment prioritization in order to effectively meet the goals of national policies and frameworks.

SUMMARY:Living with PTSD: A wildland firefighter perspective
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPresenter: Marc Titus\, Staff Specialist\, Nevada Division of Forestry’s Fire Adapted Communities and MS Student in Psychology\, Arizona State University. \nDescription: PTSD is quietly impacting wildland firefighters with its often devastating personal and professional repercussions. While no official numbers exist\, suicide has become another statistic now necessary to track within the wildland community as anecdotal data show an alarming trend. While agency’s come to grips with this burgeoning problem\, firefighters can educate themselves to better understand the dynamics of stress\, trauma and PTSD. This event will provide a unique view of the insidious nature of trauma\, its effects on the human being with an eye towards recovery and nine key insights derived from the experiences of a wildland firefighter afflicted by this nervous system injury.

SUMMARY:Wildfire-driven forest conversion in western North American landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Changing disturbance regimes and climate can overcome forest ecosystem resilience. Following high-severity fire\, forest recovery may be compromised by lack of tree seed sources\, warmer and drier postfire climate\, or short-interval reburning. A potential outcome of the loss of resilience is the conversion of the prefire forest to a different forest type or nonforest vegetation. Conversion implies major\, extensive\, and enduring changes in dominant species\, life forms\, or functions\, with impacts on ecosystem services. The webinar will synthesize a growing body of evidence of fire-driven conversion and our understanding of its causes across western North America. Increasing forest vulnerability to changing fire activity and climate compels shifts in management approaches\, and we propose key themes for applied research coproduced by scientists and managers to support decision-making in an era when the prefire forest may not return. \nPresenters: Jonathan Coop\, Western Colorado University; Sean Parks\, US Forest Service; Camille Stevens-Rumann\, Colorado State University
