Collaborative Wildfire Governance within the Southwest Idaho Wildfire Crisis Strategy Landscape: Survey Results 2025

“This study examines collaborative wildfire governance networks within Southwest Idaho, a priority landscape designated in 2022 under the USDA Forest Service’s Wildfire Crisis Strategy (WCS). Through survey data from 64 respondents, the Fueling Adaptation study aimed to identify the structure, capacity, and gaps in governance networks addressing wildfire risk in Southwest Idaho and understand how…

Large Recreation Declines Persist for Years after Severe Wildfire but Not after Low-Severity or Prescribed Fire

“We analyze wildfire and prescribed fire sites (N = 185 and 54, respectively) across California and Colorado public lands, advancing a casual inference approach that leverages 11 million digital-mobility observations, from cell phones, social media, and citizen science apps, in a visitation model. This is the first landscape-scale causally-identified estimate of how fire type, severity,…

Research Brief: Piñon pine and juniper seedling regeneration persists at burned edges but remains limited two decades after large wildfires

A recent Fire Ecology study examines piñon-juniper woodland recovery decades after wildfire, finding that natural tree regeneration remains limited in large burned areas and identifying key factors that can support long-term forest restoration. Read the research brief here: Read the full paper here.

Science You Can Use in 5 minutes: Co-producing Science With Managers: Finding the right time-and-effort balance for those involved

“Land managers rely on best available information and relevant research for decisionmaking, but matching the right information to the right questions can sometimes bechallenging. To close this gap, when researchers and managers co-produce research from the beginning it is more likely research findings will have practical applications” Read HERE
