3 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 50 - 1,000 acres (average 100 - 300 acres) Tahoe National Forest, Truckee Ranger District PSW Sagehen Experimental Forest UC Berkeley Sagehen Field Station SAGEHEN PROJECT

11 Science and Sagehen  SPLATs – strategically placed land area treatment  New American marten research – Moriarty Thesis  Old American marten research – Spencer, Martin, Simon-Jackson Thesis  “An Ecosystem Management Strategy for Sierran Mixed-Conifer Forests” – GTR-220 Tahoe National Forest, Truckee Ranger District PSW Sagehen Experimental Forest UC Berkeley Sagehen Field Station SAGEHEN PROJECT

12 Science and Sagehen The paper examines and summarizes science in 5 areas to develop management recommendations and silvicultural guidelines: 1) Fuel Dynamics 2) Ecological Role of Fire 3) Climate Change 4) Sensitive Wildlife Habitat 5) Forest Heterogeneity and Resilience Tahoe National Forest, Truckee Ranger District PSW Sagehen Experimental Forest UC Berkeley Sagehen Field Station SAGEHEN PROJECT
