Seeking Information on Fire  How might the use of prescribed fire affect a species?  How can I find information on historical fire regimes?  How have fuels changed in the past 100 years?  How does wildland fire affect nonnative, invasive plants?  How might climate change affect fire regimes in the future? The Fire Effects Information System (FEIS) can help answer these questions and many more!

Online collection of peer-reviewed syntheses on fire ecology and fire regimes in the United States designed to meet needs of managers >1,200 Plants, lichens, and animals Native and nonnative species Primary audience Fire management Fuels management General planning NEPA documents

Synthesis Literature review Describe patterns or lack of patterns Explain what is known, or not known Describe implications for management

Why go to FEIS for syntheses?
