Assessing the effects of fire disturbance on ecosystems: a scientific agenda for research and management. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-455. Portland, OR: U.S. Department Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 104 p. A team scientists resource managers convened 17-19 April 1996 in Seattle, Washington, to assess ecosystems. Objectives this workshop were develop recommendations future management activities. These included series numerically ranked managerial questions responses focusing (1) links among effects, fuels, climate; (2) as large-scale disturbance; (3) fire-effects modeling structures; (4) concerns, applications, decision support. At present time, understanding ability extrapolate fireeffects knowledge large spatial scales are limited, because most data have been collected at small specific applications. Although we clearly need more data, it will be expedient concentrate efforts improving linking existing models that simulate georeferenced format while integrating empirical they become available. significant component effort should improved communication between modelers tools use planning context. Another improve our predict interactions potential climatic change very scales. The priority issues approaches described here provide template science programs next decade beyond.
