| Description | "In dry western forests, what is resilience and can managed fire get us there?" With the increasing frequency and severity of altered disturbance regimes in dry, western U.S. forests, increasing the pace and scale of fuels treatment will require much wider use of managed fire. I will outline a concept, pyrosilviculture, designed to prioritize getting more prescribed fire and managed wildfire into western landscapes by leveraging the current patterns of wildfires, treatment limitations, and proposing new silvicultural treatments and managed fire objectives. Much of the focus of these treatments has been on increasing resilience, yet as a management objective the concept has been difficult to define and operationalize. Building on ecological theory, recent studies, and historical inventories, I suggest resilience in forests that historically had frequent-fire regimes may have resulted from very low tree densities, minimizing competition while supporting vigorous tree growth. I will discuss how this metric could be assessed, operationally applied, and what it might mean for changing current management practices. Please click the link below to join the webinar:
