Lauren Pile Knapp discusses how we can reopen closed forests in the eastern United States to woodlands and savannas, and reintroduce fire to those landscapes.

Carolyn Stephen, Jamie Ladner, and Lauren Sullivan discuss the effects of prescribed fire on plant communities like dry woodlands, dry-mesic woodlands, and glades in Missouri, USA.

Charlotte Reemts discusses how oak-juniper woodlands respond to crown fires in Fort Cavazos, and how that affects species like the endangered golden-cheeked warbler.

Erica Smithwick discusses how managers in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States can safely put prescribed fire back into the landscape to address local issues.

Clare Boerigter, Sean Parks, and Jonathan Long discuss using intentional, human-ignited fire as a tool to restore natural conditions within wilderness.

Heather Alexander and Jeffrey Cannon discuss reintroducing fire into mixed longleaf pine-hardwood woodlands, and how that will be affected by the shade-tolerant, fire-sensitive species that have grown during periods of fire exclusion.

Doug Aubrey and Jeffrey Cannon discuss how to better predict the leaf litter component in a pine forest to better understand how fire might move through forests under different management scenarios.

Norma Fowler and Rebecca Carden discuss re-introducing surface fires into the woodlands, savannas, and shrubland of Central Texas.

Christine Eriksen discusses how to strengthen our collective capacity to coexist with wildfire.

Malcolm North and Paul Hessburg discuss using strategic fire zones to minimize wildfire risk in the Western U.S.

Maggie Epstein discusses how climate change is influencing forest cover following wildfire in the Northern Rocky Mountains.

Abigail Croker discusses the process of conducting this important research on changing fire regimes in East and Southern Africa’s savanna-protected areas, focusing on indigenous-led savanna burning emissions abatement schemes.

Matt Reilly discusses using remote sensing to detect delayed mortality through spectral decline in trees in California, Oregon, and Washington over a five-year period following a fire.

Neil Williams and Melissa Lucash discuss how fire and climate change influence the boreal forests of Siberia by examining simulations.

Ashley Coble, Brooke Penaluna, and Laura Six discuss fire severity influences on large wood and stream ecosystems in western Oregon watersheds, with host Bob Keane.

Brett Lawrence discusses the use and impact of UAS aerial ignition during prescribed fire operations over multiple years.

Scott Stephens, Alexis Bernal, and Les Hall share results of a study that used multiple lines of evidence to reconstruct Indigenous fire use in a mixed conifer forest in the northern Sierra Nevada.

Kathleen Uyttewaal about results of a study that analyzed local social contexts in rural areas of Spain, Italy and France and assessed how these may inform adaptive capacity to wildland fire. 

Hear from Francis Kilkenny and Jeff Ott, USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, about a systematic literature review of fuel treatment studies and effectiveness at landscape scales.

Laurie Yung shares results from a study that examined how the wildfire problem is framed, how those frames influence potential solutions, and how reframing can reveal a broader set of solutions.

Shawn McKinney discusses the main findings from a literature review of studies that tested the influence of landscape-level fuel treatments on subsequent wildfires in North America over the past 30 years.

Benjamin Bright discusses using airborne lidar data to predict and map canopy and surface fuels across large landscapes.

Matt Thompson and Kit O’Connor summarize the growing use of PODs (potential operational delineations) and discuss future opportunities for PODs in cross-boundary and collaborative land and fire management planning.

Tegan Brown shares results from research conducted in Lubrecht Experimental Forest in Montana, USA that explored the drivers of seasonal fluctuations in live fuel moisture content.

Joseph Marschall and Daniel Dey discuss their work in a study that resulted in the longest fire-scar record in eastern North America.

Co-authors Quresh Latif, Victoria Saab, and Jonathan Dudley share results of a nine year study that assessed avian relationships with prescribed fire and wildfire.

Kate Wilkin shares results from a study exploring how pyrodiversity relates to plant diversity in Sierra Nevada mixed conifer forests.

Claire Rapp and Matt Jolly share the results of an experiment assessing the role of short-term weather forecasts in fire managers’ decision-making.

Yana Valachovic and Eric Knapp discuss results from their 2021 article in Fire Ecology, “Housing arrangement and vegetation factors associated with single-family home survival in the 2018 Camp Fire, California.”

Megan Friggens and Rachel Loehman share results reported in their 2021 article, “Predicting wildfire impacts on the prehistoric archaeological record of the Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, USA.”
