SUMMARY:Audubon Forester Training Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Register today! \nOctober 1\, 8\, 15 and 22\, 2021\n8:00 – 9:00 a.m. ET \nProgram Flyer and details \nSummary of topics: \nOctober 1 – Audubon’s Forester Training and Endorsement Program and Introduction to the Healthy Forests Initiative: Information and details about Audubon’s new program for foresters\, including steps involved; forest birds experiencing population declines\, causes of declines; opportunities to mitigate threats and stressors to breeding habitat. \nOctober 8 – Forest Bird Habitat Management Planning and Assessments: Audubon’s approach to assessing habitat diversity for forest birds at landscape and stand levels; quick guide to assessing landscape forest cover and estimating age class diversity; applying forest habitat management while reducing threats to breeding birds. \nOctober 15 – Forest Management for Birds: Applying traditional\, hybrid and mixed systems silvicultural approaches to create desired habitat conditions for mature and young forest birds to meet their full breeding season needs; creating canopy gaps and patch cuts of varying sizes to benefit the most birds. \nOctober 22 – Resources for Audubon Endorsed Foresters\, Engaging Landowners\, and Current Audubon Projects: Overview of resources available for foresters (guides and examples of a variety of forest management plans that include birds and habitat; engaging forest owners and general public in forestry for birds; current Audubon projects that reach and engage forest owners; upcoming programs and webinars. \nOctober 29 – Using Carbon Programs to Achieve Forest Bird Habitat Management: Overviews carbon sequestration science; carbon sequestration and storage techniques for applications in both young and mature forests; how carbon guidelines can be used for forest bird habitat; current Audubon carbon program partnerships in the region.

SUMMARY:Fire refugia: where and why do conifer forests persist through multiple fire events?
DESCRIPTION:Register today! \nOctober 7\, 2021\n11:00 a.m. PT \nPresenter: Dr. Meg Krawchuk\, Oregon State University \nChanging wildfire regimes are causing rapid shifts in forests worldwide. In particular\, forested landscapes that burn repeatedly in relatively quick succession may be at risk of conversion when pre-fire vegetation cannot recover between fires. Fire refugia (areas that burn less frequently or severely than the surrounding landscape) support post-fire ecosystem recovery and the persistence of vulnerable species in fire-prone landscapes. Observed and projected fire-induced forest losses highlight the need to understand where and why forests persist in refugia through multiple fires. \nThis research need is particularly acute in the Klamath-Siskiyou ecoregion of southwest Oregon and northwest California\, USA\, where expected increases in fire activity and climate warming may result in the loss of up to one-third of the region’s conifer forests\, which are the most diverse in western North America. We model the key controls on fire refugia occurrence and persistence through one\, two\, and three fire events over a 32-year period. Refugia that persisted through three fire events appeared to be partially entrained by landscape features that offered protection from fire\, suggesting that topographic variability may be an important stabilizing factor as forests pass through successive fire filters. Results from this study could inform management strategies designed to protect fire-resistant portions of biologically and topographically diverse landscapes.
