SUMMARY:Fire severity: Mapping past fires and predicting the future
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nArea burned by wildland fire has been increasing since the mid-1980s across much of the US. But the effects of fire on vegetation and soil – what we call burn severity or fire severity – is maybe the more important measure\, ecologically speaking. Stand-replacing\, or high-severity fire\, for example\, is more likely than low-severity fire to negatively impact ecosystems by increasing post-fire erosion potential\, catalyzing conversions from forest to non-forest\, and reducing carbon stocks. While high-severity fire has its place in the natural cycles of some ecosystems\, it also can pose societal problems by jeopardizing human safety and infrastructure. In this webinar\, we will briefly describe new approaches to mapping the severity of past fires using satellite imagery and cloud-based computing. The main focus of this webinar\, however\, will highlight recent advancements in modeling and predictive mapping of near-future burn severity; the mapped products predict the probability of high-severity fire\, if a fire were to occur. Maps characterizing fire severity\, whether they characterize past fires or represent predictions of the near-future\, provide important information for managers and scientists who are tasked with managing fuel and wildland fire.

SUMMARY:Native American fire management at an ancient WUI
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nAs residential development continues into flammable landscapes\, wildfires increasingly threaten homes\, lives\, and livelihoods in the wildland–urban interface (WUI). Although this problem seems distinctly modern\, Native American communities have lived in WUI contexts for centuries. When carefully considered\, the past offers valuable lessons for coexisting with wildfire\, climate change\, and related challenges. This webinar will show that ancestors of Native Americans from Jemez Pueblo used ecologically savvy intensive burning and wood collection to make their ancient WUI resistant to climate variability and extreme fire behavior. Learning from the past offers modern WUI communities more options for addressing contemporary fire challenges. Public/private–tribal partnerships for wood and fire management can offer paths forward to restore fire-resilient WUI communities.

SUMMARY:Pollinator-friendly plants for restoration
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nPollinators are essential to the survival and health of natural ecosystems but are declining worldwide. Because of this\, there is urgent need to restore pollinators and the services they provide. One way to address this need is to use pollinator-friendly plants in revegetation projects (roadsides\, fire rehabilitation\, etc.)\, but land managers lack information about which plants are best for pollinators. RMRS and partners at Montana State University are assessing the pollinator-friendliness of native plant species that are available for revegetation in Montana to produce a guide identifying the best species mixes to support the greatest number of species and abundance of pollinators. We found that plant species vary widely in the abundance\, diversity\, and community of pollinator species that each attract. However\, several plant species are superstars that are visited by most pollinator species across a diversity of habitats. These focal-plant species can form a backbone in seed mixes to successfully restore diverse and stable plant and pollinator communities.

SUMMARY:Managing post-fire\, climate-induced vegetation transitions
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nWarmer\, drier and longer fire seasons in the Northwest have led to larger and more frequent wildfires. These changes in fire activity\, combined with warmer and drier post-fire conditions\, have in turn led to growing concern that in some areas of the Northwest\, particularly in forests and shrublands east of the Cascade Range\, existing plant communities may face difficulty regrowing and persisting following fire.

SUMMARY:3D fuel characterization for modeling of wildland fire behavior and smoke
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nRapid advancements in wildland fire modeling are promoting innovations in how we characterize and map wildland fuels. Before these models can be widely used\, more research on fuel characterization and mapping methods is needed to support3D model inputs. The 3D Fuels Project is characterizing surface and canopy fuels on pine-dominated sites in the southeastern and western United States and western grasslands that represent fuels commonly characterized for prescribed burning. Through this project\, researchers are developing a library of tools and datasets to leverage multi-scale estimates of 3D fuel structure and consumption that can be used directly within models of fire behavior and smoke production.

SUMMARY:Breaking down the Sagebrush Conservation Strategy\, part 1
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nIn coordination with the Western Assoc of Fish and Wildlife Agencies\, BLM\, USFWS\, and USGS\, we are hosting a webinar that will introduce the content of the first part of the Sagebrush Conservation Strategy. The strategy highlights continuing pressures from unprecedented wildfires fueled by invasive annual grasses\, as well as cropland conversion and disturbance associated with the development of other resources. These changes impact not just wildlife but also diverse human communities that depend on healthy sagebrush for their wellbeing.
