Book Description
Restoration thinning of ponderosa pine forests often results in large quantities of slash that can be challenging to remove. As is true of most aspects of forest restoration, there is no one-size-fits-all approach for dealing with slash. In fact, there are several options commonly used in southwestern forests, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. It is important for land managers to understand the long-term implications of slash removal methods on ecosystem processes. This paper presents standard methods for disposing of slash, as well as the ecological and logistical trade offs associated with each method.

Effects of Forest Thinning Treatments on Fire Behavior
Author: Kimberly Lowe
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Forest fires
Languages : en
Pages : 8
Book Description
One of the goals of restoration in southwestern ponderosa pine ecosystems is to reduce the risk of unnaturally severe wildfires. Many factors influence fire behavior including drought, topography, insect infestation, and weather but fuels are the only factor that people can realistically manage. This publication summarizes what is known about restoration treatment effects on fire behavior in ponderosa pine forests, and suggests treatment options that can alter future fire behavior.

The Effects of Thinning and Similar Stand Treatments on Fire Behavior in Western Forests
Fuel Reduction in Residential and Scenic Forests
Author: Joe H. Scott
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Forest fires
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Three alternative thinning treatments for reducing fire hazard and improving forest health in scenic ponderosa pine forests of the Intermountain West are compared. Treatment cost and revenue, su, rface and crown fuel reduction, and aesthetic preference of the treatments are analyzed. The application of these ecosystem restoration treatments may have far reaching implications.

Controlling Cheatgrass in Ponderosa Pine and Pinyon-juniper Restoration Areas
Author: Michele A. James
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Cheatgrass brome
Languages : en
Pages : 12
Book Description
Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is widespread throughout western North America and is a significant concern for land managers conducting restoration treatments in southwestern ponderosa pine and pinyon-juniper forests. It is common on a few restoration treatment areas in northern Arizona, on severely burned mature/old growth pinyon-juniper sites at Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado (Floyd et al. 2006), throughout wildfire areas in Zion National Park in southern Utah (U.S. National Park Service 2007), and on areas consumed by wildfire in northern Arizona (Sieg et al. 2003). There is concern that cheatgrass populations may expand further with an increase in the scale and frequency of restoration treatments in southwestern ponderosa pine and pinyon-juniper ecosystems.
