Prescribed fire policy barriers: Findings from a JFSP project on challenges and strategies on federal lands across the West

What will you learn?

Prescribed fire is an essential management tool for restoring and maintaining fire-dependent ecosystems; however, land managers are unable to apply prescribed fire at the necessary levels. Past surveys have identified a range of policies and regulations that managers say
limit their ability to conduct prescribed fire. We are conducting a project…

Evaluation of burn mosaics on subsequent wildfire behavior, severity and fire management strategies

What will you learn?

The Reburn Project was motivated by a need to better understand wildfires as a type of fuel reduction treatment and to assess the impacts of fire suppression on forested landscapes. The original JFSP task statement (Influence of past wildfires on wildfire behavior, effects, and management) was created to inform the National Cohesive Wildland Fire…

Use and benefits of NASA's RECOVER for post-fire decision support

Today’s extended fire seasons and large fire footprints have prompted state and federal land-management agencies to devote increasingly large portions of their budgets to wildfire management. As fire costs continue to rise, timely and comprehensive fire information becomes increasingly critical to response and rehabilitation efforts. The NASA Rehabilitation Capability Convergence for Ecosystem…
