California’s Sierra Nevada forests are a stage upon which the interacting effects of historic management and anthropogenically-driven climate change are playing out in real time. A vast body of literature provides evidence that these forests are out of character and poised for abrupt ecological changes under the status quo.

Urban fires pose a persistent hazard in Japanese urban areas. To address this, various fire spread models have been developed, with many relying on empirical formulations. However, to enhance model generality, a shift towards physics-based formulations is explored.

FRID statistics have been used for decades to help managers and scientists understand the ecological consequences of changing fire frequencies. The Forest Service Region 5 Ecology Program worked with UC-Davis to build a spatial FRID data layer that compiles information about fire return intervals for major vegetation types on the 18 National Forests in California and adjacent land jurisdictions.

Three years ago, the California Board of Forestry’s Range Management Advisory Committee (RMAC) initiated public information workshops about the addition of prescribed grazing as a new practice allowed under Cal Fire’s Vegetation Treatment Program for managing vegetation that produce fuel for dangerous wildfires.
