Fire
Effects and Fire Ecology.
The Fire Logistics team has developed
fire and fuel management plans throughout the Northern Rocky Mountain
Region that have balanced the effects of the fuel treatment and the
ecosystem in which the project was implemented. Fire
behavior determines the effects of fire on the ecosystem and can range
from high intensity stand replacement crown fires (lethal) to low
intensity understory burns (non-lethal). The selection of the fuel
treatment method best suited to meet land management objectives is a key
attribute for which the Fire Logistics team has demonstrated expertise.
