Managing for climate change on federal lands of the western United States: perceived usefulness of climate science, effectiveness of adaptation strategies, and barriers to implementation

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2015
Recent mandates in the United States require federal agencies to incorporate climate change science into land management planning efforts. These mandates target possible adaptation and mitigation strategies.

Effects of ownership patterns on cross-boundary wildfires

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Understanding ownership effects on large wildfires is a precursor to the development of risk governance strategies that better protect people and property and restore fire-adapted ecosystems. We analyzed wildfire events in the Pacific Northwest from 1984

A Conventional Cruise and Felled-Tree Validation of Individual Tree Diameter, Height and Volume Derived from Airborne Laser Scanning Data of a Loblolly Pine (P. taeda) Stand in Eastern Texas

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Globally, remotely sensed data and, in particular, Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), are being assessed by the forestry industry for their ability to acquire accurate forest inventories at an individual-tree level.

Fuel Dynamics Following Wildfire in US Northern Rockies Forests

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Accumulation of dead woody material is a critical management concern following wildfires, especially given the possibility of subsequent wildfires. Forest structure and fuel accumulation are largely driven by site climatic conditions, so variability in ...

Predictive model of spatial scale of forest fire driving factors: a case study of Yunnan Province, China

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Forest fires are among the major natural disasters that destroy the balance of forest ecosystems. The construction of a forest fire prediction model to investigate the driving mechanism of fire drivers on forest fires can help reveal the mechanism of ...

Response of avian cavity nesters and carbon dynamics to forest management and climate change in the Northern Rockies

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Forest ecosystem services (e.g., carbon and nutrient cycling, biodiversity, and wood products) in many moisture‐limited systems in the western USA are being impacted by climate change.

ATT Squeeze U-Net: A Lightweight Network for Forest Fire Detection and Recognition

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
Forest fire is becoming one of the most significant natural disasters at the expense of ecology and economy. In this article, we develop an effective SqueezeNet based asymmetric encoder-decoder U-shape architecture, Attention U-Net and SqueezeNet (ATT ...
