Central and Southern California, Fire Ecology Annual Report: Calendar Year 2008
Author unknown. Central and Southern California, Fire Ecology Annual Report: Calendar Year 2008
A summary of fire ecology activities and program information for the Park/network including fire effects plot workload, staffing, management objectives and monitoring results, and planning, fire monitoring, communications, and research. Also included are staff accomplishments/areas of focus, future program direction and other optional information (e.g. data analysis graphics or presentations, annual highlights, publications, program challenges, unique solutions to problems, collaboration, photographs of monitoring/fire activities, and suggestions on FFI). The Fire Effects Monitors for the Southern and Central California Fire Ecology and Fire Effects Program worked in a record number of parks this year (eight) and provided assistance to the Klamath-Cascades network for the fourth consecutive year. The Bay Area Network Fire Ecologist focused on planning and coordination between divisions, research and outreach, and continued progress on her PhD program. The Mediterranean Coast Network Fire Ecologist continued to try to identify critical information gaps necessary for fire management planning in the complex WUI of the Santa Monica Mountains NRA. This coming year the fire ecologist will be focused on supporting the development of CWPPs, developing a monitoring program for the defensible space and strategic fuels treatment areas, and reducing the data analysis backlog.
