Wind-Driven Building-to-Building Fire Spread: ExperimentalResults and Probabilistic Modeling

“This study presents a comprehensive experimental and probabilistic analysis of wind-driven building-to-building fire spread, focusing on the interplay between exposure intensity, duration, and material response” Read HERE

Forest restoration treatments increase native plant diversity but open the door to invasion in the Colorado Front Range

“We used a before/after control/impact study design to assess the effects of mechanical forest restoration treatments on forest structure, surface fuels and understory plant composition 1, 5, and 10 years after treatment.” Read HERE

Methods to assess fire-induced tree mortality: comparing heated water baths to experimental laboratory fires

“We assessed whether heated water baths and experimental laboratory fires caused xylem cell wall deformation and increased vulnerability to embolism.” Read HERE

Spatiotemporal dynamics of fine dead surface fuel moisture content in a Colorado mixed-conifer forest

“In this study, we monitored the spatiotemporal variability in FMC and characterized how controls of FMC vary over a fire season. FMC was sampled at 80 locations 21 times (approximately weekly) through the summer season in a 17.6 ha southern Rocky Mountain mixed-conifer forest.” Read HERE

Managing pine forest ecosystems after fire: The need of being proactive under future uncertainty

“The resistance-resilience-transition (RRT) framework offers adaptive strategies: resistance aims to preserve existing conditions, resilience focuses on returning to a prior state after disturbance, and transition involves guiding ecosystems toward new, stable conditions better adapted to future stressors.” Read HERE

Limited conifer regeneration but widespread regeneration of aspen seedlings following the Cameron Peak fire, northwestern Colorado

“To understand the potential for severe fire to catalyze shifts to aspen-dominated forests, we studied conifer-dominated forests that burned at high severity….” Read HERE

Burn severity across forest types and burning conditions for forest treatments on the southern rockies Front Range

“We investigated wildfires from southern Wyoming to northern New Mexico to evaluate under what conditions treatments reduce the ecological impacts of fire, as measured by remotely sensed burn severity.” Read HERE

Global Wildland Fire Emissions of Full-Volatility Organic Compounds from 1997 to 2023

“Wildland fires are significant sources of organic compounds, but traditional global fire emission inventories only include primary organic aerosols (POA) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and lack intermediate-volatility and semivolatile organic compounds (IVOCs and SVOCs), which could underestimate the environmental impact of wildland fires….” Read HERE

Quantifying danger: New data on wildland firefighter injuries

“When wildland firefighters head into the field, they know the work is dangerous; but until now, agencies lacked detailed data on exactly which activities and hazards posed the greatest threats. A recent analysis of five years of serious firefighter injuries offers new insights…” Read HERE

Nighttime fire activity is on the rise in the United States: Posing greater risks to firefighters and communities

Science You Can Use: “Firefighting crews count on a dampening of fire activity at night, thanks to a temperature drop and rising humidity, for much-needed respite and a chance to regroup for the next day’s efforts. However, a newly published study by Rocky Mountain Research Station fire scientists Patrick Freeborn and Matt Jolly and collaborators…
