Wildfires may provide an efficient means to maintain or restore some aspects of fire-adapted landscapes. Yet with the added influence of invasive species and climate change, wildfires may also facilitate or accelerate undesired type conversions. This talk presents a framework for integrating cross-jurisdictional, landscape-scale monitoring and prediction with management objectives using measures of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from MODIS imagery. Measures are both fire and recovery sensitive to contextualize short or long-term change with respect to any actual, potential, or idealized pre-wildfire baseline or desired future condition. This integrative, coarse-filter approach provides land managers with planning tools for efficiently recognizing and prioritizing problems in disturbance-prone landscapes, whether or not they have recently burned.

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE?

Federal, state & local land managers; federal and university landscape science and fire researchers; national forest climate change coordinators; GIS & remote sensing application specialists; NGO representatives, land use planners and other interested citizens.
