In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Brett Lawrence about a study that assessed the use and impact of Small Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) aerial ignition during prescribed fire operations over multiple years.

Scott Stephens, Alexis Bernal, and Les Hall share results of a study that used multiple lines of evidence to reconstruct Indigenous fire use in a mixed conifer forest in the northern Sierra Nevada.

In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Kathleen Uyttewaal about results of a study that analyzed local social contexts in rural areas of Spain, Italy and France and assessed how these may inform adaptive capacity to wildland fire.

In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Francis Kilkenny and Jeff Ott about a systematic literature review, which examined the results of 86 fuel treatment studies and summarized what they reveal about factors determining fuel treatment effectiveness at landscape scales.

In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Laurie Yung at the University of Montana about a study that examined how the wildfire problem is framed, how those frames influence potential solutions, and how reframing can reveal a broader set of solutions which may better address key barriers.

In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Shawn McKinney, Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service, to learn about the results of a literature review of studies that tested the influence of landscape-level fuel treatments on subsequent wildfires in North America over the past 30 years.

In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Benjamin Bright, Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service, to learn using airborne lidar data to predict and map canopy and surface fuels across large landscapes.

In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Matt Thompson and Kit O’Connor of the Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service, to learn about PODs (potential operational delineations) and discuss current and future opportunities for using PODs in cross-boundary and collaborative land and fire management planning.

In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks with Tegan Brown, postdoctoral research fellow at the Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory of the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station. Tegan shares results from research conducted in Lubrecht Experimental Forest in Montana, USA that explored the drivers of seasonal fluctuations in live fuel moisture content in a herbaceous groundcover plant, an understory shrub, and an overstory tree species.

In this episode of Fire Ecology Chats, Fire Ecology editor Bob Keane speaks to co-authors Joseph Marschall and Daniel Dey about a study that resulted in the longest fire-scar record in eastern North America and offers unique foundational ecological information regarding pre-Columbian fire regimes of northeastern USA fire-adapted forest communities.
