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

SUMMARY:Inclusivity in cooperative extension programming\, with an emphasis on natural resources and climate change
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Through a case study from Washington\, DC\, participants will learn how to get feedback from historically underrepresented groups and tailor cooperative extension programs to people of different races\, ages\, and academic backgrounds. \nSome people\, such as minorities and those from under-educated and lower income backgrounds\, are typically excluded from conversations surrounding the degradation and improvement of ecosystem structure\, function\, and services. In an effort to provide an opportunity for under-served populations to be heard\, inform content creation in academic courses and in cooperative extension programs\, and create experiential learning opportunities for students at our land-grant university\, we developed a survey instrument to gather public perceptions and knowledge on natural resources and climate change. This survey was administered in-person by undergraduate students at the University of the District of Columbia and online in Washington\, DC. We will share the lessons we learned about effectively reaching people and how demographics of stakeholders need to be considered. Understanding what people know and perceive is key to designing effective educational programs\, engaging in collective conversations\, and building effective partnerships that find solutions for environmental problems that benefit the community. \nPresenters: USDA Northeast Climate Hub. Contact Jennifer Ryan\, Science & Technology Training Library content manager\, for more information.

SUMMARY:Effects of policy change on wildland fire management strategies
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nIn 2009\, new guidance for wildland fire management in the United States expanded the range of strategic options for managers working to reduce the threat of high-severity wildland fire\, improve forest health and respond to a changing climate. Markedly\, the new guidance provided greater flexibility to manage wildland fires to meet multiple resource objectives. We use Incident Status Summary reports to understand how wildland fire management strategies have differed across the western US in recent years and how management has changed since the 2009 Guidance for Implementation of Federal Wildland Fire Management Policy. When controlling for confounding variation\, we found the 2009 Policy Guidance along with other concurrent advances in fire management motivated an estimated 27 to 73% increase in the number of fires managed with expanded strategic options\, with only limited evidence of an increase in size or annual area burned. Fire weather captured a manager’s intent and allocation of fire management resources relative to burning conditions\, where a manager’s desire and ability to suppress is either complemented by fire weather\, at odds with fire weather\, or put aside due to other priorities. We highlight opportunities to expand the use of strategic options in fire-adapted forests to improve fuel heterogeneity.

SUMMARY:Invader impact on soil ecosystems – what every restoration practitioner should know
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Plant invasions cause dramatic shifts in plant communities and ecosystem processes. While these changes are obvious aboveground\, less is known about changes belowground. Focusing on the most significant invaders in our area in the Intermountain West of the United States\, this seminar will highlight how spotted knapweed (Centaurea stoebe)\, leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula)\, cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) and sulfur cinquefoil (Potentilla recta) alter soil microbial communities and nutrient cycles\, and what the consequences of these shifts might be for restoration. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ylva Lekberg is a soil ecologist at MPG Ranch and an adjunct professor at University of Montana. Her research focuses on structural and functional shifts in soil ecosystems associated with plant invasions\, and how these changes may affect restoration success. Prior to her work in invasion biology\, Ylva explored the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in subsistence farmers’ fields in Sub-Saharan Africa\, coastal grasslands in Denmark and geothermal areas in Yellowstone.

SUMMARY:Assessing the work of wildfires and identifying post-fire management needs
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Landscapes of the Inland West are deeply affected by 100+ years of fire exclusion\, the loss of indigenous burning\, and expansion and densification of many forests. Today\, anthropogenic climate change and wildfires are modifying the structure and composition of forests across the West at rates that far exceed adaptation and restorative treatments. Fires that occur during the forest planning process can delay project implementation for years\, further hindering the pace of restoration activities. Landscape evaluations and prescriptions are needed so that managers can assess the work of wildfires on affected landscapes; the topic of this webinar. \nPresenters and research team: Andrew Larson\, C. Alina Cansler\, Derek Churchill\, Paul Hessburg Sr.\, Sean Jeronimo\, Van Kane\, Jim Lutz\, and Nicholas Povak.

SUMMARY:Creating firebreaks with targeted cattle grazing in the Owyhee Front
DESCRIPTION:Watch video\, 11:45 \nSix ranchers are working with the Bureau of Land Management during the spring months to reduce fuel loads (mostly cheatgrass) on the front side of the Owyhee Mountains in Idaho with tightly controlled cattle grazing. The goal is for the cattle to “mow” cheatgrass and grasslands to a 2-3 inch stubble height for 30 miles (200 feet wide on either side of a road) from March 1 – June 30. This is the fourth year of the experimental project. \nThe larger goal is to stop large “mega” fires that are burning up high-quality grasslands and sage-steppe habitat in the Great Basin — habitat that’s crucial to support wildlife\, songbirds\, and livestock grazing. \nSo far\, the BLM and the ranchers are happy with the results. A research project by the BLM and USDA Agricultural Research Service is evaluating the use of cattle to create fire breaks in the Owyhees\, Elko\, Nev.\, and Lakeview\, Ore. The research takes a broader look at what techniques work best.

SUMMARY:Insights for resilient forest landscapes in the Rogue Basin of southwestern Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Severe wildfires threaten forests and communities of the northern Klamath Mountains. Historically these forests thrived with frequent\, low-mixed severity fire. However\, hotter\, drier summers\, a century of fire exclusion\, and past destructive logging practices are increasing the likelihood of destructive fire. Insights from historical fire regimes and stand conditions have been integrated with contemporary evaluations of wildfire risk and habitat needs to inform the collaboratively derived Rogue Basin Cohesive Forest Restoration Strategy. \nPresenter: Kerry Metlen\, Forest Ecologist with The Nature Conservancy of Oregon
