Barnes JL. 2012. Alaska Region Fire Ecology Annual Report: Calendar Year 2012. Fairbanks, AK
The NPS Alaska Region fire ecology program provides science-based information to guide Alaska NPS fire and land management planning, decisions and practices in order to maintain and understand fireadapted ecosystems in Alaska. The scope of the fire ecology program includes 16 national park units in Alaska; however the majority of the work has occurred in the following park units: Bering Land Bridge (BELA), Denali (DENA), Gates of the Arctic (GAAR), Noatak (NOAT), Yukon-Charley Rivers (YUCH), and Wrangell-St. Elias (WRST). The major focus areas for 2012 were to complete monitoring reports for two thinning projects and fire management plans. During the field season, the fire ecology program re-measured monitoring plots in mechanical fuels treatment areas, led an interagency effort to collect seasonal fuel moisture samples, and conducted fire behavior analyses for several wildfires.
