Prescribed fire in fire-prone landscapes: tickling the dragon's tail

open access: yes, 2023
Abstract The important forest understory layer is where leaf and woody litters accumulate, decompose, and provide components that enhance soil fertility and future tree growth; where intact litter provides cover habitat for some faunal species; and where the food chains of some vertebrate wildlife species originate.

Wilderness Fire: The Beauty of Fire-Prone Landscapes

open access: yesParks Stewardship Forum
The Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, a vast 1.3-million-acre expanse in western Montana and eastern Idaho, is a landscape deeply intertwined with fire. Today, this rugged wilderness area has one of the most active fire regimes in the contiguous US, and continues to be a “natural laboratory” for us to understand how fire interacts with forests, especially ...

Model‐Based Bayesian Optimization for Organic Photovoltaics: Combining Bayesian Optimization With Physical Domain Knowledge

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Integration of a physical solar cell model into Bayesian optimization is performed using the Knowledge Gradient acquisition function to balance exploration and exploitation. Experimental validation on the PTQ10:BTP‐eC9 material system and statistical validation on an OPV benchmark function show that the model‐based approach outperforms conventional ...

Rural Labor Supply and Economic Opportunities: Commuting, Migration, Tariffs, and Immigration

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some rural counties remain dependent on agricultural or manufacturing jobs, but an increasing proportion have diversified economics. Rural counties also differ in their abilities to commute to an urban market characterized by higher wages and labor productivity.
