SUMMARY:Fire science and management in an uncertain future: Tools and approaches for managing fire in future climates in the SW
DESCRIPTION:View workshop recording.  \nRead workshop summary. \nWorkshop purpose: Identify fire science and management needs and discuss tools and approaches to natural resource assessments and adaptation strategies for fire dynamics in future climates in Southwest (DOI Regions 8 & 10 [CA\, NV\, AZ]) bioregions. \nTake-Aways:\nProvide awareness of tools needed for decision-making in an uncertain future\nGenerate a list of new science actions to meet fire needs for practitioners/planners in future\, non-analog landscapes and communities\nSuggest how we might address and accomplish these identified needs going forward\nExchange Information\nMake connections \nThis four-hour\, virtual Summit was an abbreviated\, rescheduled version of ‘Building Bridges and Solutions: Partners in Facing Fire-Science Challenges’ that was cancelled in April due to COVID-19. We assembled scientists and fire practitioners/leaders in an interagency effort to identify fire science and management needs and to discuss decision-making tools and approaches that address resource assessments and adaptation strategies for fire dynamics in future climates in the Southwest (Department of Interior [DOI] Regions 8 and 10 [CA\, NV\, AZ]). This overriding goal threaded together the Summit’s talks\, Q&A\, and break-out sessions. Speakers from various agencies\, institutes\, and academia focused on fire management and planning in future non-analog landscapes and climate-fire-ecosystem impact relationships in western forest (e.g.\, mixed-conifer\, subalpine)\, desert (hot and cold\, grassland\, pinyon-juniper\, sage-steppe)\, and Mediterranean/chaparral bioregions. Syntheses from talks\, Mentimeter-conducted discussions\, and break-out groups on management and actionable-science needs will be summarized in a white paper and posted on the Southwest\, Great Basin\, and California Fire Science Exchange websites. Let’s work together to address fire science and management in an uncertain future!

SUMMARY:Soil moisture end user listening session
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nDo you use (or *wish* you could use) soil moisture data or maps to support your decision making\, advising\, or other work activities? Do you want to share your opinions on which soil moisture datasets\, maps\, and tools are needed to better inform drought\, flood\, or other natural resource issues? \nIn July\, the National Coordinated Soil Moisture Monitoring Network is hosting two listening sessions for soil moisture end users to share their thoughts\, wish lists\, and out-of-the-box ideas about what types of soil moisture products would best serve them. Target participants include federal\, regional\, and state program staff; state climatologists; water resource managers; extension agents; and any others who are interested in products derived from soil moisture data\, whether it be from in situ mesonets\, modeling outputs\, and/or satellite retrievals. \nParticipants can choose either this session (July 13) or an identical session on July 22\, both at 1 – 3 p.m. ET. Please register by Wednesday\, July 7.

SUMMARY:Western drought crisis
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nHistoric drought conditions across the western United States continue to rapidly worsen and expand with over 80% of the West now in drought\, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Widespread impacts are being felt. To provide the latest information on drought conditions across the Southwest\, California\, Pacific Northwest\, and the Missouri River Basin\, as well as the serious impacts on diverse sectors of the economy\, NIDIS is joining with our federal\, state\, tribal\, and local partners to host a drought webinar specifically for western communities. \nThe webinar will include an update on the current drought situation and outlook\, an overview of wildland fire conditions and outlook\, and will feature perspectives from those on the ground who are responding to worsening drought conditions. Key discussions will include a summary of past and current conditions in terms of many climate variables like snowpack\, temperatures\, precipitation\, soil moisture\, etc.; as well as potential and ongoing impacts from drought across sectors (e.g.\, agriculture\, water resources\, recreation\, etc.).

SUMMARY:Recent fire regimes of the bi-national Madrean Sky Islands: Implications for collaborative\, transboundary fire management
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nOverview: This webinar shares results of a recent study of contemporary fire regimes over a 32-year period (1985-2017) in the Madrean Sky Islands of the U.S. and México. During the study period 335 fires burned approximately 28% of the study area\, with re-burns occurring on over 25% of the burned areas. The greatest variation in fire regimes\, including fire size\, frequency\, and severity was observed in places with the most diverse human activities and land uses – particularly in the mountain ranges adjacent to the U.S.- México border. Average severity of recent fires was low despite some extreme outliers in cooler\, wetter environments. Fire frequency was also higher than historical expectations in these cool and wet environments that support forest types such as Spruce-Fir\, indicating threats to these systems possibly attributable to drought and other factors. In cooler and wetter environments in more remote areas of México\, pine-oak forests burned with fire frequencies close to historical. In contrast\, fires were absent or infrequent across large expanses of lower elevation Woodlands and Grasslands due possibly to overgrazing\, which reduces abundance and continuity of fine fuels needed to carry fire. Our findings provide a new depiction of fire regimes in the Sky Islands that can help inform fire management\, restoration\, and regional conservation planning\, fostered by local and traditional knowledge and collaboration among landowners and managers. \nPresenter: Dr. Miguel Villarreal\nCo-authors: José M. Iniguez\, Aaron D. Flesch\, Jamie S. Sanderlin\, Citlali Cortés Montaño\, Caroline R. Conrad\, Sandra L. Haire \n

SUMMARY:Fire-weather drivers of severity and spread: Learning from past fire patterns to inform future wildfire decision making
DESCRIPTION:Webinar recording. \nFire is an essential component in restoring and maintaining a healthy forest. However\, historic land use and decades of fire suppression has excluded fire from millions of forested hectares across much of the western United States\, including the Grand Canyon National Park. Forest restoration at the Grand Canyon aims to reduce wildfire vulnerability by applying fire to diversify or remove forest vegetation. However\, the cost\, complexity\, and concerns associated with managing fire for resource benefit requires that fire managers utilize and implement locally-relevant\, science-based knowledge to strategically identify when and where to use fire to produce the greatest benefits. This research specifically addresses the National Park Service\, Fire Management Leadership Board priority area of: Research that assists in removing stumbling blocks and hurdles for implementing fuels treatments and managing wildfires for resource objectives. We observed fire behavior in the Grand Canyon in conjunction with topographic variation and weather conditions to provide thresholds that affect fire severity and spread that may be beneficial or incompatible with multiple resource objectives. In doing so\, we also developed customized tools that can be used to assist with fire management planning and quickly identifying conditions likely to affect fire behavior at Grand Canyon National Park.
