Cultural Benefits Knowledge and Social Learning in Elwha River Dam Removal and Ecosystem Decision-Making

Kristin R. Hoelting, Doreen E. Martinez, Lucas S. Bair, Rudy M. Schuster et autres

In a retrospective case study of the seminal Elwha River dam removal in Washington State, USA, we explore pathways through which ecosystem services (ES) knowledge can inform environmental decision-making. We specifically investigate how knowledge of cultural benefits linked to the Elwha River …

Timing, uncertainty, and opportunity cost: Lessons for ecosystem modification on the Colorado River

Pierce Donovan, Lucas S. Bair, Matthew Reimer, Michael Springborn et autres

While conservation goals have long been pursued through traditional species-augmenting actions, a broader set of episodic ecosystem modification (EEM) actions, such as hydropower dam releases, prescribed fire, and beach nourishment, is garnering attention. EEM actions face several implementation challenges stemming from high …

Variability and consistency in wildfire susceptibility: insights from a national compilation

Aaron Russell, Lucas S. Bair, James R. Meldrum, Todd J. Hawbaker

Background Wildfire risk in the United States is rising and remains a land management priority. The quantitative wildfire risk assessment (QWRA) framework integrates fuels, topography, weather and values at risk to estimate the potential change in value from wildfire. Within this, response …

Rising rates of wildfire building destruction in the conterminous United States

Amanda R. Carlson, Todd J. Hawbaker, Miranda H. Mockrin, Volker C. Radeloff et autres

Many regions of the world have seen an increase in highly destructive wildfires, driven by well-documented increases in burned area and growth of housing in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), which exposes more homes to fire. However, it is unclear whether wildfires are …

Evaluating a simulation-based wildfire burn probability map for the conterminous US

Amanda R. Carlson, Todd J. Hawbaker, Lucas S. Bair, Chad M. Hoffman et autres

Background Wildfire simulation models are used to derive maps of burn probability (BP) based on fuels, weather, topography and ignition locations, and BP maps are key components of wildfire risk assessments. Aims Few studies have compared BP maps with real-world fires to …
