Fire Ecology of Pacific Northwest Forests
TL;DR: The Fire Ecology of Pacific Northwest Forests as discussed by the authors is a historical, analytical, and ecological approach to the effects and use of fire in Pacific Northwest wildlands, which provides an essential base of knowledge for all others interested in wildland management who wish to understand the ecological effects of fire.

Basic principles of forest fuel reduction treatments
James K. Agee,Carl N. Skinner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize a set of simple principles important to address in fuel reduction treatments: reduction of surface fuels, increasing the height to live crown, decreasing crown density, and retaining large trees of fire resistant species.

Spatial controls of historical fire regimes: a multiscale example from the interior west, usa
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstructed a multicentury history of fire frequency, size, season, and severity from fire scars and establishment dates of 1426 trees sampled on grids in four watersheds of the Blue Mountains, Oregon and Wash- ington, USA.

Dry forests and wildland fires of the inland Northwest USA: Contrasting the landscape ecology of the pre-settlement and modern eras
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the key landscape pattern and process changes wrought by the sum of the settlement and management influences to date, and point to an uncertain future for ecosystem management.

Managing Forests and Fire in Changing Climates
Scott L. Stephens,James K. Agee,Peter Z. Fulé,Malcolm P. North,William H. Romme,Thomas W. Swetnam,Monica G. Turner +6 more
TL;DR: Policy-makers are challenged not to categorize all fires as destructive to ecosystems simply because they have long flame lengths and kill most of the trees within the fire boundary.
