Toward a Theory of Landscape Fire

McKenzie, Donald; Miller, Carol; Falk, Donald A.

Pages: 3 –25

[Landscape ecology is the study of relationships between spatial pattern and ecological process (Turner 1989; Turner et al. 2001). It is the subfield of ecology that requires an explicit spatial context, in contrast to ecosystem, community, or population ecology (Allen and Hoekstra 1992). One...

Scaling Laws and Complexity in Fire Regimes

McKenzie, Donald; Kennedy, Maureen C.

Pages: 27 –49

[Use of scaling terminology and concepts in ecology evolved rapidly from rare occurrences in the early 1980s to a central idea by the early 1990s (Allen and Hoekstra 1992; Levin 1992; Peterson and Parker 1998). In landscape ecology, use of “scale” frequently connotes explicitly spatial...

Native Fire Regimes and Landscape Resilience

Moritz, Max A.; Hessburg, Paul F.; Povak, Nicholas A.

Pages: 51 –86

[First introduced by Holling (1973), the term “resilience” has been used widely in the ecological literature, but it is not always defined and is rarely quantified. Holling suggested that ecological resilience is the amount of disturbance that an ecosystem could withstand without changing...

Climate and Spatial Patterns of Wildfire in North America

Gedalof, Ze’ev

Pages: 89 –115

[Climate interacts with wildfire at a range of spatial and temporal scales. In this chapter I describe a conceptual model that describes how climate (a top-down control) interacts with processes of vegetation development and topography (bottom-up controls) to give rise to characteristic...

Climatic Water Balance and Regional Fire Years in the Pacific Northwest, USA: Linking Regional Climate and Fire at Landscape Scales

Littell, Jeremy S.; Gwozdz, Richard B.

Pages: 117 –139

[Fire and water are linked across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Climate provides a top-down control on fire regimes (Gedalof et al. 2005; Littell et al. 2009a, b;Chap. 4), via seasonal-to-multidecadal patterns of temperature and precipitation and their interaction. At fine scales, fuel...

Pyrogeography and Biogeochemical Resilience

Smithwick, Erica A. H.

Pages: 143 –163

[The response of biogeochemical fluxes to perturbation has been a major focus of ecosystem studies for decades (Bormann and Likens 1979a; Vitousek and Melillo 1979; West et al. 1981). Perturbation is a fundamental component of conceptualizations of system resilience (Holling 1973; Carpenter et...

Reconstructing Landscape Pattern of Historical Fires and Fire Regimes

Swetnam, Tyson; Falk, Donald A.; Hessl, Amy E.; Farris, Calvin

Pages: 165 –192

[Analysis of historical fire patterns of severity provides a view of fire regimes before they were altered by contemporary forest management practices such as logging, road-building, grazing, and fire suppression. Historical fire data can place contemporary observed fire data in a longer temporal...

Fire and Invasive Plants on California Landscapes

Keeley, Jon E.; Franklin, Janet; D’Antonio, Carla

Pages: 193 –221

[Throughout the world, the functioning of natural ecosystems is being altered by invasions from nonnative plants and animals. Disturbances that alter ecosystem processes often initiate species invasions. Increasingly it is evident that fire-prone ecosystems can be highly vulnerable both to...

Modeling Landscape Fire and Wildlife Habitat

Cushman, Samuel A.; Wasserman, Tzeidle N.; McGarigal, Kevin

Pages: 223 –245

[Global climate is expected to change rapidly over the next century (Thompson et al. 1998; Houghton et al. 2001; IPCC 2008). This will affect forest ecosystems both directly by altering biophysical conditions (Neilson 1995; Neilson and Drapek 1998; Bachelet et al. 2001) and indirectly through...

Managing and Adapting to Changing Fire Regimes in a Warmer Climate

Peterson, David L.; Halofsky, Jessica E.; Johnson, Morris C.

Pages: 249 –267

[Planning and management for the expected effects of climate change on natural resources are just now beginning in the western United States (U.S.), where the majority of public lands are located. Federal and state agencies have been slow to address climate change as a factor in resource...
