Report: Fire Regime Dynamics of the Southwestern Alberta Foothills

Report: Fire Regime Dynamics of the Southwestern Alberta Foothills

This final report by the Fire Regime Team describes their landscape-scale assessment of fire frequency, severity and age structures for six study areas distributed throughout the montane and lower subalpine zone of the Foothills using dendroecological methods. They describe and contrast the fire regimes and ecological outcomes for the lodgepole pine and Douglas-fir zones of their study sites and implications of these results.

Webinar: Altered fire regimes and reduced montane forest diversity

This presentation from the Webinar Wednesdays series of the Healthy Landscapes Program (fRI Research) explores the reconstructed fire history of sites within Jasper National Park. Raphael found evidence of mixed-severity fire regimes, and explores how altering these regimes has affected the landscape.
