Effectiveness of Fuel Treatments for Mitigating Wildfire Severity: A Manager‐Focused Review and Synthesis

View the publication here!

The 2008 Request for Applications from the Joint Fire Science Program called for a synthesis of the extant literature that addresses the effectiveness of fuel treatments. We employed a four‐pronged approach to address this task, including several scoping exercises with land managers, a literature review, a meta‐analysis, and development of an online pictorial database.
