SUMMARY:Diversity is magic: Emerging issues in selecting appropriate native plant materials for ecosystem restoration
DESCRIPTION:Access webinar recording. \nSelecting species and seed from appropriate sources to maximize project success faces many challenges. This presentation will review plant selection for ecosystem diversity that supports economically and ecologically practical outcomes. Habitat degradation and loss have accelerated globally\, resulting in loss of biological diversity and species endangerment at unprecedented scales. Restoring habitats that provide ecosystem services necessary for all life is crucial. One of the biggest hurdles to habitat restoration is the availability of seeds of native plants to provide a diverse and resilient base of the food chain. Plant diversity is now clearly a fundamental driver of ecosystem services and the diversity of other organisms\, and native plant diversity is needed because invasive plants tend to reduce diversity and homogenize vegetation on the landscape. Seeding with native plants is one of the few reliable methods of restoring diversity at all levels\, even in the face of climate change and controversial novel ecosystems. Therefore\, selecting and sourcing the right plants for restoration sites is vital for the successful establishment of diverse and resilient native ecosystems. This presentation webinar will describe the results of recent published and unpublished research on local adaptation\, successful creation of diverse regional seed admixtures\, the importance of landscape context\, and innovative species selection strategies and tools.

SUMMARY:Ecology\, history\, ecohydrology\, and management of PJ woodlands in the Great Basin
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nRick Miller\, Professor Emeritus\, OSU\, discusses the intent and goals of his latest publication\, The Ecology\, History\, Ecohydrology\, and Management of Pinyon and Juniper Woodlands in the Great Basin and Northern Colorado Plateau in the Western United States. This includes 1) Describing the the woodlands and the vast variation across the GB and CP\, 2) Telling the story of their history and variables influencing woodland expansion and contraction\, and 3) Interpretation of the wide variation in responses and the variables influencing ecosystem response to restoration.

SUMMARY:The west-wide fuelcasting system
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDescription: Fuelcasting is a new program that provides projections of expected fuel conditions this grazing season. It is an important component of the Rangeland Production Monitoring System. he 30-minute webinar provides an overview of the system\, demonstrates how to download and use the data\, and discusses the 2020 fuel outlook with a focus on hotspots. \nPresenter: Matt Reeves\, USFS RMRS scientist

SUMMARY:Woodland and tallgrass prairie restoration case studies
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nTwo speakers present restoration ecology research published in the January 2020 issue of the Natural Areas Journal: Leighton Reid shares understory plant community outcomes based on twelve years of monitoring in a woodland mosaic in Missouri as it underwent restoration via prescribed\, dormant-season burning and mechanical thinning of red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) and exotic shrubs. Reid’s case study suggests that understory plant recovery may be slower in harsher and more degraded sites and faster in more mesic sites within a woodland mosaic. Mike Leahy describes plant community changes documented over 20 years of prescribed fire\, herbicide treatments of invasive nonnative species\, and seeding of local ecotype prairie seed at Pawnee Prairie\, a 190-ha mix of remnant tallgrass prairie and formerly row-cropped prairie in Missouri. The prairie restoration practices resulted in significant gains in the natural quality of the site’s vegetation\, including a greater abundance of prairie flora matrix species and some conservative species.

SUMMARY:Listening to the flow: Discoveries from wildland fire acoustics
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nSound is a fundamental part of our experience when interacting with the world around us. So fundamental in fact\, that we often forget to question what it is we are hearing. Our long relationship with all aspects of fire\, including the sounds of fire\, are deeply intuitive and yet elusive. What is creating the crackling sound we hear when vegetation burns? What is it really telling us about the exchange between vegetation and fire? What is making all that “noise” near a fire that causes us to raise our voices as we work or turn to observe with a fresh sense of alert concern? What sounds are involved that lead to a safe or unsettling feeling around wildland fire? In this webinar\, I will take a deep dive into the crackling sound of fire; what is this sound really telling us\, where is it coming from\, and what else is going on besides what we hear?

SUMMARY:Assessing the Nation's Native Seed Supply
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nThe first goal of the National Seed Strategy (developed by the Plant Conservation Alliance and through an MOU of 12 federal agencies) is to assess the national public and private demand for native plants\, and the existing and potential capacity to supply them. The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine study is in the first phase of a two-part project to provide the holistic view needed to put the nation’s native seed supply on a more solid foundation. In the next phase\, input from organizations (states\, land trusts\, non-profits) that needs seeds for ecological restoration is needed. This presentation will aim to make the case for getting those entities to participate in the assessment.
