With recreation therapy and camaraderie, groups work to address wildfire’s serious mental health problem

“Sled hockey is exactly what it sounds like: players holding stubby sticks tipped with ice-gripping spikes careen around the rink – sometimes even in the direction they intend. Nobody is good the first time they play. Not even hotshots and smokejumpers – some of the country’s fittest, most elite wildland firefighters.” Read HERE

How much is enough? Fostering resilience to high-severity fire through fuel treatments

“Healthy forests are resilient – able to resist, recover, and reorganize following disturbances like fires or drought. Resilience is a cornerstone of ecological forestry. Here, we address a simple question with a complex answer – how much work does it take to rekindle forest ecosystem resilience?” Read HERE

New Tools for Modern Land Management Decisions – New tools for the Upper CO River Basin

“In an era of rapid land use changes, it is imperative that land managers and policymakers have actionable and current information available for decision processes. In this work, we seek to meet these needs through new data products and decision support tools built on digital soil mapping, new vegetation cover maps, agency inventory and monitoring…

Invasive grass influences on the fire-cycle and treatment effectiveness to control their abundance in the Intermountain West, USA

“We performed a review and meta-analysis of recent (1985 – 2023) scientific literature. We focused on the Intermountain West, USA, where six dominant invasive grass species have already transformed ecosystems, including winter annuals – cheatgrass [ Bromus tectorum (L.)], medusahead [ Taeniatherum caput-medusae (L.) Nevski], red brome [ Bromus rubens (L.)], and Mediterranean grass […

Loss of Ecosystem Resistance to Invasion after Wildfire Facilitated by a Pulse of Soil Nitrogen Availability: Experimental Evidence in the Burned Sagebrush Steppe: Loss of Resistance Explained by Soil N PulseT. M. Maxwell and others

“We asked whether patterns of invasion after the compound disturbance of drought and fire related to the long-term pre-fire climate and plant community structure”. Read HERE

Science You Can Use Tool: Raster Tools: Leveraging spatial analysis and AI towards a fire-resilient future, in minutes

“To effectively manage fire, land and fire managers need detailed, current local information – for example, the amount of burnable material present, fuel moisture levels, winds, temperatures, and terrain changes across time and space. Managers also need these data to decide where, when, and how to treat a landscape while balancing costs and benefits, projected…
