Webinar: Fire severity-mediated dynamics of the southwestern Alberta Foothills
/
In this webinar from October 2020, Cameron Naficy of the LIM Fire Regime Team presents his research findings as part of the Landscapes in Motion project.
Read MoreWebinar: Unraveling the Complexity of Mixed Severity Fire Regimes
/
In this webinar from May 2019, Cameron Naficy of the LIM Fire Regime Team synthesizes research findings from forests in the LIM study area, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and the Glacier/Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem.
Read MoreWebinar: How and why to incorporate partial stand mortality in landscape dynamic models of mixed-severity fire regimes
/
In this webinar from November 2019, Ceres Barros of the LIM Modelling Team explains the concept of fire severity, describes many of the methods used to study mixed-severity fire regimes, and discusses a question she is addressing with Landscapes in Motion: What is the influence of stand-replacing vs partial mortality fires on post-fire vegetation recovery? She also provides some preliminary results using a subset of her data.
Read MorePoster: Modelling the effects of vegetation on fire spread
/
Ceres Barros presented some preliminary findings of her modelling work at the Ecological Society of America Annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. Learn what she found when she accounted for feedbacks between vegetation and fire, and what she plans to do next.
Read MoreWebinar: 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. You can register to view the presentation or download the presentation slides.
Read MoreAltered mixed-severity fire regime has homogenised montane forests of Jasper National Park
/
Fire suppression has altered the forests of Jasper National Park. Historically, the sites we studied experienced a mix of high-severity fires and low-to-moderate severity fires. With no fires since 1905, these forests have aged together and homogenised, making them more susceptible to high-severity fire. Prescribed burning is recommended to promote forest resilience.

Read MoreEvidence of mixed-severity fires in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains
/
Industrial disturbances like harvesting are increasingly trying to mimic wildfire, but first we need to understand how wildfire has historically affected forests. This study shows that the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta historically experienced high-severity, stand replacing fires, but also low-to-moderate-severity fires that resulted in stands with complex structure.
