Jan. 28-31, 2008 • Tucson, Ariz.
Diverse fire regimes and contentious management issues coupled with continuing severe drought have presented southwestern land managers and fire scientists with daunting challenges. Recent and predicted changes in climate, fuels, and fire behavior are yielding unique management problems with few obvious solutions.
The conference, Fire in the Southwest: Integrating Fire into Management of Changing Ecosystems, will provide a timely forum for exchange of scientific information on the ecology and management of fire adapted and affected ecosystems in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, in a time of changing climate. The ecosystems of interest include forests, pinyon-juniper woodlands, interior chaparral and desert and semi-arid shrublands and grasslands.
A Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) session will examine the effectiveness of post-fire emergency stabilization and rehabilitation treatments. Researchers will be presenting their findings on treatment effectiveness and the science behind BAER.
