Post-fire changes in net shortwave radiation along a latitudinal gradient in boreal North America
[1] Understanding how a changing boreal fire regime is likely to influence regional climate requires detailed information about fire effects on the surface radiation budget. We used time series of satellite observations of surface albedo from 2000–2011 and fire perimeters since 1970 to study post-fire changes in surface net shortwave radiation along a latitudinal transect in central Canada. Fir...
متن کاملFire history and fire–climate relationships along a fire regime gradient in the Santa Fe Municipal Watershed, NM, USA
The Santa Fe municipal watershed provides up to 40% of the city’s water and is at high risk of a standreplacing fire that could threaten the water resource and cause severe ecological damage. Restoration and crown fire hazard reduction in the ponderosa pine (PP) forest is in progress, but the historic role of crown fire in the mixed-conifer/aspen (MC) and spruce-dominated forests is unknown but...
متن کاملVegetation composition and soil microbial community structural changes along a wetland hydrological gradient
Fluctuations in wetland hydrology create an interplay between aerobic and anaerobic conditions, controlling vegetation composition and microbial community structure and activity in wetland soils. In this study, we investigated the vegetation composition and microbial community structural and functional changes along a wetland hydrological gradient. Two different vegetation communities were dist...
متن کاملAvifaunal responses to fire in southwestern montane forests along a burn severity gradient.
The effects of burn severity on avian communities are poorly understood, yet this information is crucial to fire management programs. To quantify avian response patterns along a burn severity gradient, we sampled 49 random plots (2001-2002) at the 17351-ha Cerro Grande Fire (2000) in New Mexico, USA. Additionally, pre-fire avian surveys (1986-1988, 1990) created a unique opportunity to quantify...
متن کاملEffect of Grass Seeding and Fertilizing on Surface Erosion in Two Intensely Burned Sites in Southwest
One difficulty in managing watershed vegetation with prescribed burning is predicting the response of the vegetation. Burns are catastrophic for the plant populations. The only way to predict the response of the vegetation is to look closely at the population structure. Chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum H. & A.) is a "fire adapted" chaparral plant that has a persistent fire stimulated seed bank....
