Report: Spatio-Temporal Dynamic Modelling of Mixed-Severity Fire Regimes in the SW Foothills of Alberta

Report: Spatio-Temporal Dynamic Modelling of Mixed-Severity Fire Regimes in the SW Foothills of Alberta

This final report by the Modelling Team describes their rationale and methods to create a partial mortality module that addresses a critical gap in available landscape dynamics models by accounting for partial mortality and potential fire-vegetation feedbacks within the SW Alberta Foothills. The results of their model are presented and implications discussed.

Webinar: How and why to incorporate partial stand mortality in landscape dynamic models of mixed-severity fire regimes

In this webinar from November 2019, Ceres Barros of the LIM Modelling Team explains the concept of fire severity, describes many of the methods used to study mixed-severity fire regimes, and discusses a question she is addressing with Landscapes in Motion: What is the influence of stand-replacing vs partial mortality fires on post-fire vegetation recovery? She also provides some preliminary results using a subset of her data.
