Advancing Fire Science with Large Forest Plots and a Long-Term Multidisciplinary Approach

Abstract: Large, spatially explicit forest plots have the potential to address currently understudied aspects of fire ecology and management, including the validation of physics-based fire behavior models and next-generation fire effects models. Pre-fire forest structures, fire-mediated mortality, and post-fire forest development can be examined in a spatial context, and value can be added to current multidisciplinary approaches by adding a long-term perspective. Here we propose that the fire science community begin to … Show more

“…The YFDP (800 m × 320 m) was divided into ten, 160 m × 160 m quadrats, and pre-and post-fire aboveground carbon pools were calculated for each quadrat (Table 1, and Tables S3 and S4). The plot was burned in an unattended backfire set by Yosemite National Park to check the advance of the Rim Fire (Lutz, Larson, & Swanson, 2018;Lutz et al, 2017).…”

“…The Wildland-urban interface Fire Dynamics Simulator (WFDS) model is interoperable with stem-map data, as WFDS resolves the distribution of vegetative fuel throughout three-dimensional space [11]. The dual assessment of tree pattern manipulation and spatial tree-fire behavior interactions is important considering how much remains unknown regarding how tree spatial arrangements alter wildland fire behavior [6,12,13]. Stem-maps are therefore useful data products for forest and wildland fire research [13].…”

“…The study site was the Utah Forest Dynamics Plot (UFDP), located in Cedar Breaks National Monument in southwestern Utah (latitude 37.66° N, longitude 112.85° W). The UFDP is a 13.64-ha forest dynamics plot affiliated with the Smithsonian ForestGEO network (Anderson-Teixeira et al 2015, Lutz 2015, Lutz et al 2018b) within which all 23,177 live woody stems ≥1 cm diameter at breast height (dbh; 1.37 along the main stem) have been identified, mapped, and tagged (Furniss et al 2017). The UFDP has 8 habitat types differentiated by soil parent material and topographic position (Furniss et al 2017), with all 8 habitat types showing positive or negative associations with the principal woody species (Table S3 in Furniss et al 2017).…”
