The US Geological Survey is offering this grant to a CESU partner for critical research on how repeated wildfire reburns influence forest recovery in Oregon’s western Cascades, specifically focusing on vegetation transitions. Historically, fire activity varied, but anthropogenic global warming intensifies fuel aridity, leading to more intense fire spread. Post-fire tree recruitment, once successful, is projected to slow due to climate change, which also increases future fire activity. This grant is for understanding recovery pace and pattern after reburns, addressing uncertainties in forest restoration and the effectiveness of management strategies in these increasingly fire-prone ecosystems.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to conduct research examining how repeated wildfire reburns influences the pace and pattern of forest recovery in the western Cascades of Oregon, with particular emphasis on vegetation transitions resulting from forest reburns. Historically, in forests of the western Cascades, fire activity has generally ranged from infrequent and severe in the north, to frequent and of mixed severity in the south. This range in fire activity generally reflects a north-south bioclimatic gradient that spans relatively cool-wet to warm-dry conditions. Historically, severe fires were limited by fuel flammability, especially in the cooler, wetter forest region. However, anthropogenic global warming is increasing fuel aridity (i.e., flammability) in these biomass-rich forests, which have sufficient amounts of horizontal and vertical fuel continuity to sustain intense fire spread. In the recent past, post-fire tree recruitment was generally successful over 1-4 decades, but changes in climate are projected to slow forest recovery while simultaneously driving increases in future fire activity in the western Cascades. Critically, the recovery of forests following such events and the effectiveness of management aimed at facilitating such recovery remain uncertain. |
