SUMMARY:Fire in Southern Pine Systems: Prescribed Fire for Forest Management ​Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Registration and full series information \nJanuary 3\, 2024\n 8:30 – 10 a.m. Central Time\nOnline via Zoom \nFire ​into the Future: Geospatial Technology to Identify and Categorize Fire in the Southeast \nJoin us as we explore the ecology of southern pines\, the reintroduction of ​​fire into fire-adapted ecosystems\, and the legacy of prescribed fire and how the “old” links with the “new” with burning in longleaf pine. Participants will discover the importance of the Tall Timbers Private Lands Fire Initiative and hear about​ the cutting edge technology of the Southeast fire map\, which helps​ with both on the ground management and re​search. \nDr. Nowell’s talk will focus on detecting fires in the Southeast United States\, and will include discussion of  satellite detection difficulties\, an overview of current products across this region\, and future scientific improvements of satellite-based datasets to detect even more fire. In particular\, discussion will focus on the Southeast FireMap product – a product that is based on the USGS Landsat Burned Area dataset\, but is uniquely tailored to the Southeast US. Preliminary study results that illustrate the utility of using Southeast FireMap to answer scientific questions will also be shared.​ \nThis webinar is part of the Wisconsin Forestry Center’s free webinar series that explores several facets of prescribed fire related to forests and forest management. They invited speakers to provide their perspectives and offer advice on how to advance prescribed fire as a forest management tool.

SUMMARY:Fueling Collaboration Panel Discussion Series: Phenology of Fire: Listening to the Plants and Animals
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJanuary 18\, 2024\n11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET \nApproved for 1.5 Category 1 CFE’s by the Society of American Foresters. \nSeason of fire. Opening the burn window. Both of these focus on one of the elements that make up a fire regime – frequency\, intensity/severity\, extent/scale\, and seasonality. Decades of spring-and/or autumn-centric fire can cause a site or landscape to respond very differently than when burned repeatedly across all flammable seasons. Summer burns can produce differing fire effects including increased species richness averages\, biomass\, and stem counts (especially forbs)\, and breaking up the plant species dominance resulting from dormant season burn windows. Our panelists will bring fresh voices to how we can learn from listening to our fire-dependent plants and animals and let the fire effects lead us toward desired outcomes.

SUMMARY:Family forest landowner preferences for managing invasive species
DESCRIPTION:Register \nJanuary 25\, 2024\n10:00 a.m. Pacific Time / 11:00 a.m. Mountain Time / 12:00 Noon Central Time / 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time \nPresenter: Dr. Shady Atallah\, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign \nFamily forest landowners own and manage much of the world’s forests\, but we know little about their willingness to control biological invasions on their properties. Using a choice experiment\, we find that landowners prefer mechanical methods and strongly oppose chemical methods when controlling the spread of an invasive shrub. Their choices are heterogeneously affected by ecosystem service outcomes resulting from control\, namely timber production\, trail recreation\, and wildlife viewing. Landowners view their decision to control the invasive species on their land as a complement to the control by neighbors\, offering further support for the areawide management of forest invasive species.
