Mixed Severity Fire Regimes: Ecology and Management
Mixed severity fire regimes include both forested and nonforested landscapes that are affected by fires that characteristically burn with great complexity. The conference focus will include: generic attributes of mixed severity fire regimes, current research on specific mixed severity fire regimes, and managerial challenges on these lands. Ecological and managerial challenges in mixed severity fire regimes have often been overlooked. This conference will be the first of its kind.The first day will be highlighted by a plenary session that will include keynote speaker Dr. Ann Bartuska, Deputy Chief of Research for the USDA Forest Service, Washington, D.C. Our evening banquet speaker is Don Gayton of FORREX, the Forest Research and Extension Partnership, a British Columbia charitable non-share corporation dedicated to help people develop science and knowledge-based solutions to complex natural resources challenges. The second day will feature concurrent sessions focusing on a wide variety of Pacific Northwest ecosystems that have mixed severity fire regimes. The third day will conclude with managerial challenges across a wide array of land management objectives:industrial forestry, multiple use, and lands managed for natural values.A current conference schedule is available at:http://www.emmps.wsu.edu/fire/secondary/symposium.html.Several half-day and full-day pre-conference workshops will be held on topics such as Behave Plus, Fuel Models, FCCS Fuel Characteristic Classification Systems, FRCC Fire Regime Condition Class, FARSITE and NEXUS.
