SUMMARY:Engaging communities in sagebrush restoration: Idaho Fish and Game Southwest Region Volunteer Program
DESCRIPTION:Webinar brief.  \nThis webinar provided an overview of Idaho Fish and Game’s Southwest Region Volunteer Program\, which has been utilizing volunteers in important habitat restoration projects for over 25 years. They use an adaptive approach to landscape management that includes responding to wildfires and working across land managed by federal\, state and private entities. The program has become quite successful because it makes the volunteer the most important piece of the project; without volunteers the projects could not happen. \nWebinar recording

SUMMARY:Assessing the impacts of post-fire drill seeding on archaeological resources: A case study from the Owyhee Uplands in southwest Idaho
DESCRIPTION:Webinar brief. \nRangeland drills are commonly employed for post fire rehabilitation and emergency stabilization. With the assumption that adverse effects will occur\, archaeological sites are flagged and avoided. This may cause a site stranding effect and greater potential for post fire erosion. To better understand and quantify the effects we evaluated four archaeological sites characterized as lithic scatters. Artifacts were documented and point-plotted using sub-centimeter GPS technology\, subjected to drill seeding\, and subsequently replotted and reevaluated. This presentation will detail the methods and results of this study and thoughts for future application. This webinar was presented by Kirk Halford\, BLM\, Boise. \nWebinar recording

Managers and scientists are hopeful that strains of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens will be able to selectively inhibit root growth of annual weeds in more complex rangeland ecosystems. These weed-suppressive bacteria (WSB) are now commercially available in many states and have been applied on tens of thousands of acres across the Great Basin\, yet results are variable and largely unpublished\, indicating that much remains to be understood about when\, where and why WSB are or are not effective. This webinar features six speakers: Matt Germino\, USGS and Great Basin LCC; David Pyke\, USGS; Richard Lee\, BLM; Mike Gregg\, USFWS; Jane Mangold\, Montana State University\, and Brynne Lazarus\, USGS.

SUMMARY:Effects of grazing on sage-grouse and other shrub-steppe birds: A collaborative project to inform management of sage-steppe rangelands
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nGreater sage-grouse have declined since the mid-1960s\, and grazing is the most extensive land use within sage-grouse habitat. The webinar presents progress on a 10-year project designed to document the effects of cattle grazing on:  1) demographic traits of greater  sage-grouse; 2) sage-grouse habitat characteristics\, 3) insect abundance (important prey for sage-grouse chicks)\, and 4) abundance of all other bird species. The research team is working at five study sites in Idaho where they randomly assign BLM pastures to one of four grazing treatments that include spring-only grazing\, spring and fall grazing\, and no grazing. The research team includes Courtney Conway (Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit)\, Karen Launchbaugh (University of Idaho)\, David Musil (Idaho Department of Fish and Game)\, Andrew Meyers (University of Idaho)\, Paul Makela (Bureau of Land Management)\, and Shane Roberts (Idaho Department of Fish and Game).

SUMMARY:Biophysical settings review in the Great Basin: What it is? How it works? Why it matters?
DESCRIPTION:Webinar brief \nWebinar recording \nThis webinar\, led by LANDFIRE Fire Ecologist Kori Blankenship\, provides an introduction to LANDFIRE BpS models and invites your participation in the current BpS review opportunities. Intermountain Basin Big Sagebrush Shrubland and Intermountain Basin Big Sagebrush Steppe ecosystems cover over 90 million acres in the western U.S. and provide critical habitat for the greater sage-grouse. Improving the models for these ecosystems helps LANDFIRE more accurately map fire regimes and vegetation departure\, and enables us to provide a more current and robust product for use in land management planning activities. \n

SUMMARY:Recovery and adaptation after wildfire
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nBecoming a fire-adapted community that can live with wildfire is envisioned as a continuous\, iterative process of adaptation. Miranda Mockrin\, a research scientist with the Forest Service combined national and case study research to examine how experience with wildfire alters the built environment and community- and government-level wildfire mitigation\, planning\, and regulations. Research suggests that adaptation to wildfire through WUI regulations depends on multiple factors\, including past experience with fire and the geographic extent and scale of the fire event relative to the local community and its government. While communities did not often pursue changes in WUI regulations\, experience with wildfire was frequently cited as the impetus for other adaptive responses\, such as improving emergency response or fire suppression\, and expanding education and interaction with homeowners\, such as Firewise programs or government support for fuel mitigation on private lands.

SUMMARY:Modeling dynamic fuels with an index system: MoD-FIS in the Great Basin and southwestern US
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording \nThe LANDFIRE Program strives to produce consistent fire behavior fuel model grids for the U.S. These models are relevant for  predicting fire behavior\, including spread and intensity\, during average conditions; however\, they often fall short during drought or seasonably dry conditions. \nTo address the need for that information\, LANDFIRE developed a seasonal product named the Modeling Dynamic-Fuels with an Index System (MoD-FIS).  These provisional products have been released for the Southwest and Great Basin regions\, and are ready for testing and review by those who use LANDFIRE data. In this webinar\, Charley Martin and Tobin Smail offer a MoD-FIS primer\, explain how the products can be used in these regions\, and solicit users’ input and review. \nThis webinar was co-hosted by LANDFIRE and members of the Joint Fire Science Program: Great Basin Fire Science\, Southwest Fire Science\, and Northern Rockies Fire Science. Content addresses challenges that managers of large landscapes deal with in these regions.

SUMMARY:Relations among cheatgrass-driven fire\, climate and sensitive-status birds across the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nThis webinar highlights a project examining how projected changes in fire regimes and fire and fuels treatments may affect habitat quality for and probability of occupancy of sensitive-status breeding birds. Statistical change-point analyses will be used to detect any abrupt\, nonlinear temporal changes-thresholds-in projected vegetation cover\, habitat quality\, and occupancy. Detection of ecological thresholds\, if they exist\, may suggest fuels treatments and restoration actions that will decrease the probability of entering into or remaining within undesirable ecological states. Webinar speakers are: Erica Fleishman\, University of California Davis\, and Jimi Gragg\, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.

SUMMARY:Using climate and water models to examine future water availability and biodiversity in CA and the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:View webinar recording. \nAs the predicted impacts of climate change are becoming more apparent\, natural resource managers are faced with the task of developing climate adaptation plans. These managers need state-of-the-art\, scientifically based information upon which to base these management plans and decisions consistently across California and the Great Basin. In this  webinar\, principal investigator Lorraine Flint\, USGS\, provides an overview of the project and emerging results. The project applies historical\, current\, and projected climate data to a regional water model to examine water availability\, biodiversity\, and conservation. Analysis of this climate and hydrology data will help managers understand areas in the region and landscape where the effects of climate change are expected to be the most profound. The study also addresses how the environment is likely to change and how certain the scientific community is about these changes. Collaboration among managers\, scientists\, conservation organizations\, and others will guide the utility\, understandability\, relevance\, and accessibility of the findings from this project.
