Sagehen and SPLATs  Finney (1999) – Fire spread rates can be reduced if fire is forced to flank areas of fuels treatments  Function as speed bumps  Reduces impacts of large severe wildfires  Only a portion of the landscape needs to be treated and maintained to influence overall fire behavior  Treatment prescriptions designed to significantly modify fire behavior in unit  Range in size ,000 acres (average acres) Tahoe National Forest, Truckee Ranger District PSW Sagehen Experimental Forest UC Berkeley Sagehen Field Station SAGEHEN PROJECT
