CHARACTERIZING FUELS IN WILDLANDS
Characterizing forest and rangeland vegetation, collectively
known as fuels, is the critical and initial step in understanding
the effects of fire in wildlands.

CHARACTERIZING SMOKE FROM WILDLAND
FIRES
The amount of live and dead vegetation consumed during a
fire, and the rate of that consumption, is critical to estimating
air quality impacts as well as the short-term effects of
fire on the ecosystem. |
FUEL TREATMENT EFFECTIVENESS
Guidance for planning fuel treatment projects to meet the
goals, such as reducing fire hazard over time, is provided
through several publications and fact sheets, as well as ongoing research.
