This project addresses our need to understand post-fire trajectories of moist temperate forests in the Western Cascades. These landscapes were historically exposed to a mixed-severity fire regime, with more frequent low- to moderate-severity fires interspersed with rarer large, high-severity fires driven by severe drought and fire weather. Contemporary fires are increasing in both frequency and average severity following a century of fire exclusion in conjunction with climate change. As a result, there is substantial uncertainty about how to apply existing fire-focused forest management knowledge that was developed in drier western ecosystems, and about the impacts of these management decisions on ecosystem processes and services in moist northwestern forests. Using the individual-based model iLand alongside long-term data collected at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, we will explore how projected fire, climate, and management regimes affect future forest resilience and ecosystem processes. As part of this project, researchers at the University of Washington and Oregon State University are working to parameterize and benchmark the iLand model to improve its accuracy for Pacific Northwest landscapes.
