Title: Effectiveness of Pre-Fire Fuel Treatments

Project Proposal Abstract: This proposal responds to Task 1 of the second Announcement for Proposals (AFP) authorized by the Joint Fire Science Program Governing Board in 2003, which calls for projects that would obtain time-sensitive information following wildland fire incidents related to the effects of previous land management activities on fire behavior and severity. Proactive fire management increasingly relies on pre-fire fuel manipulations to reduce the potential for catastrophic wildfires. The proposed research would compare the severity of future wildflres in adjacent treated and untreated stands, as well as native and exotic plant species cover. The timedependency for collection of this ephemeral data has been proven through previous experience with the proposed methods. The results of this research would provide information on the effectiveness of pre-fire management activities for mitigating adverse wildfire effects across ecosystems, fire regimes, geographic locations, and management jurisdictions.
