The persistence of smoke VOCs indoors: Partitioning, surface cleaning, and air cleaning in a smoke-contaminated house

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Wildfires are increasing in frequency, raising concerns that smoke can permeate indoor environments and expose people to chemical air contaminants. To study smoke transformations in indoor environments and evaluate mitigation strategies, we added smoke to a test house.

Measuring the long-term costs of uncharacteristic wildfire: a case study of the 2010 Schultz Fire in Northern Arizona

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Journal Article

Background Wildfires often have long-lasting costs that are difficult to document and are rarely captured in full. Aims We provide an example for measuring the full costs of a single wildfire over time, using a case study from the 2010 Schultz Fire near Flagstaff, Arizona, to enhance our understanding of the long-term costs of uncharacteristic wildfire. Methods We conducted a partial remeasureme

Quantifying the flammability of living plants at the branch scale: which metrics to use?

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Journal Article

Background Plant flammability is an important factor in fire behaviour and post-fire ecological responses.

Social science to advance wildfire adaptation in the southwestern United States: a review and future research directions

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Journal Article

Background. Social science that seeks to advance wildfire adaptation in the southwestern US states of Arizona and New Mexico remains underdeveloped in comparison with other regions in the USA. Aim.

The Fire Adapted Communities Pathways Tool: Facilitating Social Learning and a Science of Practice

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Journal Article

Wildfire science, policy, and practice lack systematic means for “tailoring” fire adaptation practices to socially diverse human populations and in ways that aggregate existing lessons.

Climate change is narrowing and shifting prescribed fire windows in western United States

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Journal Article

Escalating wildfire activity in the western United States has accelerated adverse societal impacts. Observed increases in wildfire severity and impacts to communities have diverse anthropogenic causes—including the legacy of fire suppression policies, increased development in high-risk zones, and aridification by a warming climate.

A Case for Adaptive Management of Rangelands’ Wicked Problems

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Journal Article

Sagebrush-steppe restoration has long been seen as a wicked problem—each case has multifaceted problems with no universal solutions—and thus managers have had to adopt adaptive management techniques to meet ever-changing landscape demands.

Snag-fall patterns following stand-replacing fire vary with stem characteristics and topography in subalpine forests of Greater Yellowstone

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Journal Article

Standing dead tree stems (snags) become abundant following disturbances like bark beetle outbreaks and stand-replacing fire. Snags are an important element of wildlife habitat, and when they eventually fall can injure or damage people and infrastructure and contribute to coarse wood and fuels accumulation.

Mesic mixed-conifer forests are resilient to both historical high-severity fire and contemporary reburns in the US Northern Rocky Mountains

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Journal Article

High-severity fires and short-interval reburns strongly influence forest structure and composition and may overwhelm forest ecosystem resilience and catalyze persistent shifts to non-forest conditions.

Exploring and Testing Wildfire Risk Decision-Making in the Face of Deep Uncertainty

Year of Publication

2023

Publication Type

Journal Article

We integrated a mechanistic wildfire simulation system with an agent-based landscape change model to investigate the feedbacks among climate change, population growth, development, landowner decision-making, vegetative succession, and wildfire.
