FEIS facilitates use of our research legacy as a basis for sound management.
Thousands of scientific articles and reports are published each year on wildland fire, making it difficult for managers, planners, and scientists to find, read, and use the best available science. A team of ecologists reviews this information and publishes syntheses online in the Fire Effects Information System (FEIS), so managers can easily find and better apply science to land management decisions. FEIS offers four peer-reviewed publication types: Species Reviews, Fire Regime Syntheses, Fire Regime Reports, and Fire Studies:
All FEIS publications provide a wealth of information for land managers, with applications in fuels and fire management and postfire restoration. FEIS is used by managers in federal land management agencies, states, tribal lands, nongovernment conservation organizations, as well as private land owners, university students and scientists, and the general public.
Visit the Fire Effects Information System for more than 1,000 reviews of scientific information on fire ecology, fire effects, and fire regimes. Visit the Citation Retrieval System to search more than 60,000 references on fire ecology, fire effects, fire history, and the biology or organisms in North America. |
