Forest Roads and Operational Wildfire Response Planning

determination of culverts diameter in forest roads

construction of forest roads disorders the natural trend of water movement. it is vital to make ditch and cross line drainage culvert to prevent the area from being destroyed and conduct the water of streems and vallies. determination of culvert diameters depends on the information of area discharge, physiographic characteristic, vegetation cover and site land use. in order to determine the amo...

Application of Wildfire Risk Assessment Results to Wildfire Response Planning in the Southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA

How wildfires are managed is a key determinant of long-term socioecological resiliency and the ability to live with fire. Safe and effective response to fire requires effective pre-fire planning, which is the main focus of this paper. We review general principles of effective federal fire management planning in the U.S., and introduce a framework for incident response planning consistent with t...

Warming and earlier spring increase western U.S. forest wildfire activity.

Western United States forest wildfire activity is widely thought to have increased in recent decades, yet neither the extent of recent changes nor the degree to which climate may be driving regional changes in wildfire has been systematically documented. Much of the public and scientific discussion of changes in western United States wildfire has focused instead on the effects of 19th- and 20th...
