Research paper thumbnail of Fire Research in the United States--The Challenge of Meeting Changing Management and Policy Needs

However, as the social, economic, and environmental impacts of wildland fires and their management are increasingly recognized by the broader land management and environmental policy communities and by Congress, the roles, funding, and potential impacts of fire-related research are changing rapidly. Fire research is increasingly interdisciplinary and multiscalar. It is increasingly addressing a broader range of issues that require new competencies, new collaborations, new tools, and a strong vision of future needs. Fire is a dominant disturbance process in many terrestrial ecosystems, and its wise management is critical to society, to ecosystem health, and to resource sustainability. The challenges to fire research are great, the issues are complex. Developing research programs to meet these challenges is critical to ensuring protection of life and property, while meeting resource needs and maintaining a healthy environment.

Wildland fire and other sources of biomass burning generate carbon emissions every year that are ... more Wildland fire and other sources of biomass burning generate carbon emissions every year that are in the vicinity of 20 to 50% of annual global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion and cement production. Changes in the net emissions from biomass burning have the potential to significantly impact atmospheric composition, terrestrial carbon storage, and the forcings associated with changing climate. Determining the feedbacks between fire and changing climate is complex, as multiple processes and their interactions with ecosystem dynamics, climate, and fire regimes need to be considered, quantified and integrated. Understanding of and ability to quantify and model many of these processes is improving rapidly, but is still inadequate for assessing the interactions between fire processes, the atmosphere, and climate. Some of the most basic questions center on the effects of changing fire regimes on carbon balance. This requires quantifying emissions from wildfire and other...
