Central Oregon currently lacks the site-specific fire and forest histories that are necessary for scientifically based land-management planning in the region.
FireBGCv2 is a highly successful modeling platform that has been designed to iteratively generate fire regimes and ecological dynamics on real world landscapes.
This project is aimed at elucidating the effect of interactions of fire, insect outbreaks, windthrow, and climate on fuel and fire behavior using simulation modeling.
Before this project, Utah and eastern Nevada lacked dendrochronologically crossdated, site-specific fire and vegetation histories that provide crucial information for scientifically based fire, land, and natural resource management.

Whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) forests are declining across most of their range in North America because of the combined effects of three factors:
