21. Can Air Quality Management Drive Sustainable Fuels Management at the Temperate Wildland–Urban Interface?

Author

Bowman, David M. J. S., Daniels, Lori D., Johnston, Fay H., Williamson, Grant J., Jolly, W. Matt, Magzamen, Sheryl, Rappold, Ana G., Brauer, Michael, and Henderson, Sarah B.

Abstract

Sustainable fire management has eluded all industrial societies. Given the growing number and magnitude of wildfire events, prescribed fire is being increasingly promoted as the key to reducing wildfire risk. However, smoke from prescribed fires can adversely affect public health. We propose that the application of air quality standards can lead to the development and adoption of sustainable fire management approaches that lower the risk of economically and ecologically damaging wildfires while improving air quality and reducing climate-forcing emissions. For example, green fire breaks at the wildland–urban interface (WUI) can resist the spread of wildfires into urban areas. These could be created through mechanical thinning of trees, and then maintained by targeted prescribed fire to create biodiverse and aesthetically pleasing landscapes. The harvested woody debris could be used for pellets and other forms of bioenergy in residential space heating and electricity generation. Collectively, such an approach would reduce the negative health impacts of smoke pollution from wildfires, prescribed fires, and combustion of wood for domestic heating. We illustrate such possibilities by comparing current and potential fire management approaches in the temperate and environmentally similar landscapes of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada and the island state of Tasmania in Australia.

39. Seasonal relationships between foliar moisture content, heat content and biochemistry of lodgepole pine and big sagebrush foliage.

Abstract

Wildland fires propagate by liberating energy contained within living and senescent plant biomass. The maximum amount of energy that can be generated by burning a given plant part can be quantified and is generally referred to as its heat content (HC). Many studies have examined heat content of wildland fuels but studies examining the seasonal variation in foliar HC among vegetation types are severely lacking. We collected foliage samples bi-weekly for five months from two common species in the western USA: lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Douglas ex Loudon) and big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt). We measured HC, live fuel moisture content (LFMC) and biochemical components in the leaf dry mass. Our results showed that HC increased for both species, coinciding with LFMC decrease during the growing season. Measured HC values were higher than the constant value in standard fuel models. Lasso regression models identified biochemical components for explaining temporal HC and LFMC variation in lodgepole pine (HC: R²adj = 0.55, root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.35; LFMC: R²adj = 0.84, RMSE = 10.79), sagebrush (HC: R²adj = 0.90, RMSE = 0.13; LFMC: R²adj = 0.96, RMSE = 7.66) and combined data from both species (HC: R²adj = 0.77, RMSE = 0.33; LFMC: R²adj = 0.61, RMSE = 19.75). These results demonstrated the seasonal change in HC and LFMC resulted from temporal biochemical composition variation in dry mass. This new knowledge about HC seasonal change will ultimately lead to improved predictions of wildland fire spread and intensity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

46. SMARTPHONE APPLICATIONS FOR DATA COLLECTION, DYNAMIC MODELING, AND VISUALIZATION IN THE WILDLAND FIRE ENVIRONMENT.

Author

Riddering, Jim, Holden, Zachary A., Jolly, W. Matt, and Warren, Allen

Subjects
MOBILE apps, WILDFIRE prevention, WILDFIRE fighters, WILDFIRE forecasting, FOREST fire forecasting
Abstract

The article discusses developments in mobile applications as of April 2015 that can be used by U.S. wildland fire managers and firefighters to better monitor, share, and understand the fire environment. Topics include the Fire Weather Calculator developed by the National Center for Landscape Fire Analysis for weather observations, and the TOPOFIRE weather application which uses data from the National Digital Forecast Database.

50. Can Air Quality Management Drive Sustainable Fuels Management at the Temperate Wildland-Urban Interface?

Abstract

Sustainable fire management has eluded all industrial societies. Given the growing number and magnitude of wildfire events, prescribed fire is being increasingly promoted as the key to reducing wildfire risk. However, smoke from prescribed fires can adversely affect public health and breach air quality standards. Here we propose that air quality standards can lead to the development and adoption of sustainable fire management approaches that lower the risk of economically and ecologically damaging wildfires while improving air quality and reducing climate-forcing emissions. For example, green fire breaks at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) can resist the spread of wildfires into urban areas. These could be created through mechanical thinning of trees, and then maintained by targeted prescribed fire to create biodiverse and aesthetically pleasing landscapes. The harvested woody debris could be used for pellets and other forms of bioenergy in residential space heating and electricity generation. Collectively, such an approach would reduce the negative health impacts of smoke pollution from wildfires, prescribed fires, and combustion of wood for domestic heating. We illustrate such possibilities by comparing current and potential fire management approaches in the environmentally similar landscapes of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada and the island state of Tasmania in Australia., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
