An Evaluation of Fire Regime Reconstruction Methods -Fact Sheet by Lucca Henrion, last updated: Jan 27, 2015 07:25 PM: Information about past fire regimes can be a helpful reference to guide and inform land managers about current and future fire regime characteristics, patterns, and forest structure characteristics. Management activities that benefit from understanding past fire regimes include prescribed fire, managed wildfires for resource benefit, and mechanical treatments to reduce fire risk. This working paper discusses several methods for reconstructing historical fire regimes. The potential value and limitations for reconstructing historical forest structure and composition with each method are also briefly covered

Learning to Coexist with Wildfire by Lucca Henrion, last updated: Nov 25, 2014 06:41 PM: The impacts of escalating wildfire in many regions — the lives and homes lost, the expense of suppression and the damage to ecosystem services — necessitate a more sustainable coexistence with wildfire. Climate change and continued development on fire-prone landscapes will only compound current problems. Emerging strategies for managing ecosystems and mitigating risks to human communities provide some hope, although greater recognition of their inherent variation and links is crucial. Without a more integrated framework, fire will never operate as a natural ecosystem process, and the impact on society will continue to grow. A more coordinated approach to risk management and land-use planning in these coupled systems is needed.

Website for Managing Arid and Semi-Arid Watersheds by Susan Rich, last updated: Sep 29, 2014 05:26 PM: "The purpose of the project, for which this web site is one of the primary manifestations, is to bring to the public the knowledge and data gleaned from the Arizona Watershed Program. Our goal is to take the years of accumulated watershed management research and package it in a form that is useful to a broad spectrum of the public. The challenge is to provide information that other researchers will find useful as well as information that teachers, students, pubic administrators, and the general public can use."
