Modern Pyromes: Biogeographical Patterns of Fire Characteristics across the Contiguous United States

Year of Publication
2022
Publication Type
In recent decades, wildfires in many areas of the United States (U.S.) have become larger and more frequent with increasing anthropogenic pressure, including interactions between climate, land-use change, and human ignitions. We aimed to characterize the spatiotemporal patterns of contemporary fire characteristics across the contiguous United States (CONUS).

The Ecology and Management of Moist Mixed-Conifer Forests in Eastern Oregon and Washington: a Synthesis of the Relevant Biophysical Science and Implications for Future Land Management

Year of Publication
2014
Publication Type
Land managers in the Pacific Northwest have reported a need for updated scientificinformation on the ecology and management of mixed-conifer forests east of theCascade Range in Oregon and Washington. Of particular concern are the moistmixed-conifer forests, which have become drought-stressed and vulnerable tohigh-severity fire after decades of human disturbances and climate warming.
