Title: Post-Wildfire Seeding in Forests of the Intermountain West: Trends, Costs, Effectiveness, Use of Native Seed

Project Proposal Abstract: We propose to address Joint Fire Sciences AFP 2008-2 Task 1, Topic 1: post-fire stabilization, rehabilitation, or restoration. We will follow the methodology of a systematic review to develop a thorough synthesis of existing information on post-wildfire seeding. The specific topics are: (1) trends in seeding over time: changes in area and amounts of seed used, seed sources, species selected: (2) costs per acre seeded, costs associated with alternative seeding technologies, cost-benefit analyses; (3) effects: measures of success, monitoring projects, effects of seeding vs. natural regeneration; (4) native seeds: native species were rarely used for post-fire rehabilitation in the past, but recent policy and legal guidelines support an increasing role of natives. Managers using this synthesis will be interested in data on native species sources, costs, and effectiveness. Natives will treated as a separate category for analysis in all of the topics of the synthesis document and studies on native species seeding will be highlighted. Data sources will include publications (scientific and ?gray? literature), agency reports, especially BAER reports, and interview and survey methods focusing on managers representing a variety of resource disciplines as well as producers and distributors of native and non-native seeds. Managers will help design and interpret the synthesis approach. Deliverables include written, DVD, on-line, and in-person transfer of knowledge.
