SUMMARY:Defend and Grow the Core: Implementing the Sagebrush Conservation Design
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording (1:00:34) \nThe Sagebrush Conservation Design (SCD) is a tool to identify intact sagebrush areas and address the largest threats to the ecosystem. The SCD focuses on first protecting intact and functioning sagebrush ecosystems\, called Core Sagebrush Areas\, then works outward toward more degraded areas (i.e.\, “Defend the Core”). The premise behind the Defend the Core approach is simple: focus resources first on preventative actions that retain ecosystem services in Core Sagebrush Areas because they are more cost-effective and more likely to be successful. The November 2024 special issue of Rangeland Ecology and Management is dedicated to applying the SCD to improve conservation outcomes across the sagebrush biome in the face of pervasive ecosystem threats. This special issue provides new science and real-world examples of how we can implement the SCD to save a biome. The overarching themes are: 1) Business-As-Usual Won’t Save the Sagebrush Sea\, 2) Better Spatial Targeting Can Improve Outcomes\, 3) Conservation Planning is Needed to Develop Realistic Business Plans\, 4) Targeted Ecosystem Management: Monitoring Shows Managing for Sagebrush Ecological Integrity is Working\, 5) Maintaining Sagebrush Ecological Integrity is Ecologically Relevant\, and 6) There is Only Hope if We Manage Change. The collective articles show that there is no shared plan to save the biome\, yet a business plan for the biome could ensure realistic goals. The sagebrush biome still has vast expanses of open spaces with high ecological integrity at a scale that is rare in other ecological systems within the lower 48 states. If we focus on the common ground of the main drivers of ecosystem change\, implementing the SCD and Defending the Core are viable strategies to help save a biome.

SUMMARY:Spatial and temporal trends in causes of human-ignited wildfires
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPresenter: John Abatzoglou\, University of California\, Merced \nDescription: Red flag warnings (RFWs) are issued to alert management and emergency response agencies of weather conditions that are conducive to extreme wildfire behavior. Issuance of RFWs also can encourage the public to exercise extreme caution with activities that could ignite a wildfire. Among the ignition causes associated with human activity\, some generally reflect short-term behavioral decisions\, whereas others are linked to infrastructure and habitual behaviors. From 2006–2020\, approximately 8% of wildfires across the western United States were discovered on days with RFWs. We discuss our discovery that although the number of human-caused fires was higher on RFW days than on similar days without RFWs\, the warnings appeared to disproportionately reduce the number of ignitions associated with short-term behavioral choices. \n

SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary understanding and prediction of wildfires
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPresenters: Mojtaba Sadegh\, Boise State University; Karen Short\, USDA Forest Service\nDescription: Understanding of the conditions that contribute to wildfire ignitions and impacts increases capacity to mitigate wildfire risks. The Fire Program Analysis Fire-Occurrence Database (FPA FOD) contains information on the location\, jurisdiction\, discovery time\, cause\, and final size of more than 2 million wildfires from 1992 through 2020. To each of those wildfire records\, we added information on 267 physical\, biological\, social\, and administrative attributes. As we will demonstrate\, these publicly available data can be used to answer numerous questions about the circumstances associated with human- and lightning-caused wildfires. We will share examples of how the enhanced FPA FOD data can support descriptive\, diagnostic\, predictive\, and prescriptive wildfire analytics\, including the development of machine learning models.

SUMMARY:Building ecosystem resilience and adaptive capacity: A systematic review of aspen ecology and management in the SW
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nSpeaker: Connor Crouch\, Forester\, USDA Forest Service\, Mark Twain National Forest. \nDescription: In this webinar from the Forest Stewards Guild and Southwest Fire Science Consortium\, attendees will hear about insights from the recent paper. The speaker will highlight the threat to aspen ecosystems posed by climate change\, chronic ungulate browse\, and outbreaks of the invasive insect oystershell scale. He will make the case for three aspen management objectives to address these threats and increase aspen resilience and adaptive capacity: (1) promote diversity in age structure by enhancing regeneration and recruitment\, (2) mitigate impacts of ungulate browse on recruitment\, and (3) enhance structural\, adaptive\, and functional complexity. The webinar will detail how various management strategies could meet these objectives. \n

SUMMARY:Expanding the fuels planning toolkit: Terrestrial laser scanning and 3D fuels characterization for improved wildland fire decision support
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWildland fire managers require an expanded toolbox for decision support in the context of an increasingly novel fuel and fire environment complicated by a changing climate\, invasive species encroachment\, and rapid increase in wildland-urban interface in many areas within the U.S. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) offers an efficient\, cost-effective\, and powerful tool for characterizing high resolution\, sub-canopy forest and fuel structural conditions with the simple press of a button. In this panel discussion\, TLS subject matter experts from both research and operations will share their efforts and practical applications of TLS and other 3D wildland fuels characterization tools for improved wildland fire planning\, fire effects monitoring\, and decision support.

SUMMARY:The fire suppression bias
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nFire suppression is the primary management response to wildfires in many areas globally. By removing less-extreme wildfires\, this approach ensures that remaining wildfires burn under more extreme conditions. This is termed the “suppression bias”\, and it fundamentally impacts wildfire activity\, independent of fuel accumulation and climate change. Attempting to suppress all wildfires necessarily means that fires will burn with more severe and less diverse ecological impacts\, with burned area increasing at faster rates than expected from fuel accumulation or climate change. Over a human lifespan\, the modeled impacts of the suppression bias exceed those from fuel accumulation or climate change alone\, suggesting that suppression may exert a significant and underappreciated influence on patterns of fire globally. Managing wildfires to safely burn under low and moderate conditions is thus a critical tool to address the growing wildfire crisis. Presented by Mark Kreider\, TNC

SUMMARY:Fire eruption: First results from the California Canyon fire experiment
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe California Canyon Fire Experiment is the first large-scale field experiment that observed fire eruption. The experiment was conducted in a steep canyon near Salinas\, CA on 24 October 2022. A large suite of in situ and remote sensing instruments were deployed including micrometeorological towers\, Doppler radar and lidar and airborne infrared imaging systems. The experiment was designed to allow a head fire to spread freely up a canyon under weak ambient winds to investigate the mechanisms of fire eruption. Preliminary results indicate that fire eruption occurred after the fire front reached the upper region of the canyon and fire spread was dominated by fire-induced in-drafts measured by Doppler lidar. This presentation will describe the goals of the experiment\, experimental design\, the phenomena sampled\, the instruments used\, and preliminary results.

SUMMARY:How will future climate change impact prescribed fire across the contiguous US?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe use of prescribed fire to manage ecosystems is increasing across the United States\, but climate change threatens to impact future opportunities for prescribed fire as a result of changes in meteorological conditions and fuels. I will discuss the results of a recent study which combined prescription information from 80 sites across the US with LANDFIRE fuels data and downscaled future climate projections to evaluate how climate change will impact future availability of burn days. Our results indicate that rising maximum temperatures may lead to decreases in burn days across the eastern US\, while rising minimum temperatures and decreasing wind speeds may lead to increased opportunities for prescribed fire in the northern and northwestern US.

SUMMARY:"Mann Gulch\, Norman Maclean\, and Young Men and Fire" with Stephen Pyne
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nOn August 5\, 1949\, a fire was spotted at Mann Gulch\, near Helena\, Montana. The U.S. Forest Service dispatched a team of 15 smokejumpers\, who were met by a fire guard from a nearby campground. When the fire blew up\, thirteen firefighters were killed\, three escaped. While the Forest Service studied what happened and revised its training and safety measures\, few outside the agency remembered the tragedy. That is not until Norman Maclean published a meditation on it\, entitled Young Men and Fire\, did the event connect with national and cultural interests—and continues to thirty years later. \nFire historian Stephen Pyne and host Jamie Lewis discussed the fire on its 75th anniversary and how Maclean’s book has affected the American fire community.
