This workshop and field tour will cover current science of the post-fire environment and provide discussion for possible management options. The speakers will present on the impacts fire have on the length of time snags persist on the landscape, the possible impacts to soil and what types of post-fire habit are preferred by different species of woodpeckers.
Portland, Ore.

As you know, LANDFIRE developed state-and-transition models to represent pre-settlement reference conditions for all Ecological Systems in the United States through an expert-based model development process.
This webinar describes the results of a study that sought to identify barriers and opportunities to the use of scientific information about resilience for decision-making and on-the-ground management.
