Fire Ecology of Forests and Woodlands in Utah by Anne F. Bradley,Nonan V. Noste,William C. Fischer Pdf

Identifies Fire Groups based on fire's role in forest succession. Describes forest fuels and suggests considerations for fire management.
Fire Ecology and Management of the Major Ecosystems of Southern Utah by Anonim Pdf
This document provides managers with a literature synthesis of the historical conditions, current conditions, fire regime condition classes (FRCC), and recommended treatments for the major ecosystems in southern Utah. Sections are by ecosystems and include: 1) coniferous forests (ponderosa pine, mixed conifer, and Engelmann spruce-subalpine fir), 2) aspen, 3) pinyon-juniper, 4) big and black sagebrush, and 5) desert shrubs (creosotebush, blackbrush, and interior chaparral). Southern Utah is at the ecological crossroads for much of the western United States. It contains steep environmental gradients and a broad range of fuels and fire regimes associated with vegetation types representative of the Rocky Mountains, the Great Basin, Northern Arizona and New Mexico, and the Mohave Desert. The Southern Utah Demonstration Area consists of contiguous state and federal lands within the administrative boundaries of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fishlake and Dixie National Forests, National Park Sevice, and State of Utah, roughly encompassing the southern 15 percent of Utah (3.24 million ha). The vegetation types described are similar in species composition, stand structure, and ecologic function, including fire regime to vegetation types found on hundreds of millions of hectares in the 11 western states.

Fire Ecology of the Forest Habitat Types of Central Idaho by Marilyn F. Crane,Intermountain Research Station (Ogden, Utah),William C. Fischer Pdf
This report summarizes available information on fire as an ecological factor for forest habitat types occurring in central Idaho. The forest habitat types described for central Idaho by Steele and others (1981) are grouped into 11 Fire Groups based primarily on fire's role in forest succession. For each Fire Group, information is presented on (1) the relationship of major tree species to fire, (2) fire effects on undergrowth, (3) fire effects on wildlife, (4) forest fuels, (5) the natural role of fire, (6) fire and forest succession, and (7) fire management considerations. The Fire Groups are described as follows: Zero - Miscellaneous special habitats; One - Dry limber pine habitat types; Two - Warm, dry habitat types that support open forests of ponderosa pine or Douglas-fir; Three - Warm, moist ponderosa pine habitat types and warm, dry Douglas-fir habitat types usually dominated by ponderosa pine. Four - Cool, dry Douglas-fir habitat types; Five - Moist Douglas-fir habitat types; Six - Grand fir habitat types; Seven - Cool habitat types usually dominated by lodgepole pine; Eight - Dry, lower subalpine habitat types; Ninw - Wet or moist, lower subalpine habitat types; Ten - Cold, upper subalpine and timberline habitat types.
Fire Ecology of Pacific Northwest Forests by James K Agee Pdf
A leading expert in the emerging field of fire ecology, James Agee analyzes the ecological role of fire in the creation and maintenance of the natural forests common to most of the western U.S. In addition to examining fire from an ecological perspective, he provides insight into its historical and cultural aspects, and also touches on some of the political issues that influence the use of fire. Although the focus of chapters on the ecology of specific forest zones is on the Pacific Northwest, much of the book addresses issues that are applicable to other regions. Illustrations, tables, index.
Fire Ecology and Management: Past, Present, and Future of US Forested Ecosystems by Cathryn H. Greenberg,Beverly Collins Pdf
This edited volume presents original scientific research and knowledge synthesis covering the past, present, and potential future fire ecology of major US forest types, with implications for forest management in a changing climate. The editors and authors highlight broad patterns among ecoregions and forest types, as well as detailed information for individual ecoregions, for fire frequencies and severities, fire effects on tree mortality and regeneration, and levels of fire-dependency by plant and animal communities. The foreword addresses emerging ecological and fire management challenges for forests, in relation to sustainable development goals as highlighted in recent government reports. An introductory chapter highlights patterns of variation in frequencies, severities, scales, and spatial patterns of fire across ecoregions and among forested ecosystems across the US in relation to climate, fuels, topography and soils, ignition sources (lightning or anthropogenic), and vegetation. Separate chapters by respected experts delve into the fire ecology of major forest types within US ecoregions, with a focus on the level of plant and animal fire-dependency, and the role of fire in maintaining forest composition and structure. The regional chapters also include discussion of historic natural (lightning-ignited) and anthropogenic (Native American; settlers) fire regimes, current fire regimes as influenced by recent decades of fire suppression and land use history, and fire management in relation to ecosystem integrity and restoration, wildfire threat, and climate change. The summary chapter combines the major points of each chapter, in a synthesis of US-wide fire ecology and forest management into the future. This book provides current, organized, readily accessible information for the conservation community, land managers, scientists, students and educators, and others interested in how fire behavior and effects on structure and composition differ among ecoregions and forest types, and what that means for forest management today and in the future.
