Two Post-Glacial Sagebrush Steppe Fire Records at the Wildland-Urban Interface, Eastern Cascades, Washington
… in large fires in the rapidly developing wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas of central Washington, where development intermixes with wildland fuels, contribute to federal firefighting costs exceeding of $1 billion annually. In addition, cheatgrass (<em>Bromus tectorum</em>) invasion and …

SEASONAL FLAMMABILITY COMPARISONS OF NATIVE AND EXOTIC PLANTS IN THE POST OAK SAVANNAH, BLACKLAND PRAIRIE, AND PINEYWOODS ECOREGIONS OF TEXAS
… insight into the fundamental thermal behavior of wildland fuels can aid in fire behavior prediction and development of fire-resistant plant lists. This study focused on estimating seasonal and regional flammability characteristics of five evergreen species: yaupon (<em>Ilex vomitoria</em>), …

SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN FOREST FUELS: SIMULATION MODELING AND EFFECTS ON FIRE BEHAVIOR
… burning, to remedy this situation because fuels are the one component of the problem that we can directly affect through management action. At present, however, the tools we have for the evaluation of fuel treatments are inadequate because they do not describe the fuel bed, or effects of …

Building a better burn: Fuel characterization and fire effects in silvicultural systems in the southern United States
… influenced by the arrangement and composition of wildland fuels, which influence wildland fire behavior and effects. Fire regime alterations influence shifts in stand dynamics via multiple processes, including tree mortality and or regeneration. Over time, these alterations to stand composition …

Advancing Coupled Fire-Atmosphere Simulation: Fuel Representation and Fire Spotting
Wildland fires can lead to substantial ecological, social, and economical losses as well as health burdens due to smoke produced from biomass burning. Accurate wildland fire simulation is an essential capability in predicting and managing these losses, benefiting both pre-fire risk mitigation and …
