Presenter: Robin Innes, Ecologist
Fire Effects Information System (FEIS, www.feis-crs.org/feis/) staff will introduce new two fire regime products-Fire Regime Reports and Fire Regime Syntheses-and demonstrate FEIS’s new search functions to inform fire management planning and decision-making in the Southwest and Southern Rockies regions. Fire Regime Reports summarize information from thousands of LANDFIRE Biophysical Settings models, which are grouped according to similarities in vegetation and fire history. Fire Regime Syntheses add comprehensive, thoroughly documented reviews of the scientific literature to the Fire Regime Reports. These syntheses provide the best science available on historical fire frequency, spatial pattern, extent, and seasonality; historical ignition sources; and typical patterns of fire intensity and severity. They also provide information on contemporary changes in fire regimes, especially in relation to fuels, climate, and invasive species. The updated user interface provides easy access to these publications and links them to nearly 1,100 FEIS Species Reviews. View webinar recording here!
