To better understand the needs of land management organizations and how they manage post-fire landscapes, we established the Blue Mountains Post-fire Recovery Partnership. Although this partnership is still in its early stages, bi-monthly meetings have enhanced cross-talk between academic researchers at WSU and individuals at various land management organizations (see Partners<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecology of Post-fire Forest Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Along with investigating decision support tools for post-fire forest management with a socioecological lens, we have conducted ecological research investigating drivers of post-fire forest recovery and assessing relationships between spectral recovery, climate, topography, and field-measured forest recovery. Along with the Andrus et. al. (2022) publication<\/a>, a manuscript is in development: Celebrezze et. al. (in prep).\u00a0Assessing the difference between post-fire spectral recovery and forest recovery using multispectral, topographical, climate, and field data<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above post-fire management tool guide provides a baseline understanding of how we are working towards assessing various decision support tools. Although this is far from and end-product, it takes an ecologically-informed approach to a guide for land managers to select decision support tools that best fit their needs. Future work will draw from insights gained from a collaborative effort with land management organizations (PFP) to develop a user-friendly decision support platform which will recommend a specific tool or set of tools to land managers based on their needs (e.g., post-fire management phase, desired outcomes, available time and resources, and the project’s spatial extent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
