We will develop the fuels data and management alternatives needed to reduce fire hazard in the South Shore Project of the Lake Tahoe Management Unit, Tahoe National Forest. Using an integrated approach that links two commonly used tools-the Fire and Fuels Extension to the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FFE-FVS) and the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS)-we will develop a range of management alternatives appropriate for application in the wildland-urban interface. This approach will be applicable for other planning areas in the Lake Tahoe Basin WUI areas such as the Incline Hazardous Fuels Reduction and Forest Health Restoration Project.

| 07/24/2017 9:07 PM | Kiara Cuerpo-Hadsall | Objectives: The goal of this project was to develop fuels data and management alternatives needed to reduce fire hazard in the South Shore Project of the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit by linking the Fire and Fuels Extension to the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FFE-FVS) and the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) tools. |
||
| 07/24/2017 9:07 PM | Kiara Cuerpo-Hadsall | Findings: Simulation results show that thinning treatments reduced the forests susceptibility to support crown fire initiation through changing canopy metrics, which increase active crown fire and burn severity. |
||
| 07/24/2017 9:07 PM | Kiara Cuerpo-Hadsall | Management Implications: This project will help managers in developing local and regional fire hazard assessments and would be an invaluable analysis tool for an interdisciplinary team designing alternatives for NEPA documents. |
