在全国范围内实施全面的燃料管理计划之前,需要了解火灾对生态系统影响的短期和长期后果之间的权衡。我们正在评估美国主要燃料类型的8个地点的3个潜在权衡模型,我们介绍了3个选定模型/建模方法的初步测试结果,以及蒙大拿州西部BiHerroot国家森林(BNF)的第4个模型。选定的模型/建模方法是:1)火灾排放权衡模型(FETM),2)顺序使用SIMPPLLE和MAGIS模型,3)植被动态发展工具(VDDT),以及4)景观演替模型(LANDSUM)。我们模拟了50年以上的3种燃料处理:1)没有行动,2)规定在美国黄松和道格拉斯冷杉类型在2个不同的速度燃烧,3)木材采伐,返回到繁殖阶段的立场。所有模型的模拟结果表明,花旗松和黄松类型的面积不会明显改变燃料治疗。大多数模型表明,收获处理将减少野火和烟雾排放所烧毁的面积;一些模型表明,规定的火灾处理将减少野火面积。所有模型都表明,采伐处理会减少杆大小的树木面积,一些模型表明,火灾处理会增加树苗大小的树木面积。
Understanding the trade~offs between short-term and long-term consequences of fire impacts on ecosystems is needed before a comprehensive fuels management program can be implemented nationally. We are evaluating 3 potential trade-off models at 8 locations in major U.S. fuel types, We present results of the initial testing of the 3 selected models/modelling approaches and a 4th model on the BiHerroot National Forest (BNF) in western Montana. The selected models/modelling approaches were 1) the Fire Emissions Trade-off Model (FETM), 2) sequential use of the SIMPPLLE and MAGIS models, 3) the Vegetation Dynamics Development Tool (VDDT), and 4) the LANDscape SUccession Model (LANDSUM). We simulated 3 fuel treatments over 50 years: 1) no action, 2) prescribed burning in ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir types at 2 different rates, and 3) timber harvesting that returns the stand to a reproduction stage. Simulation results for all models suggested that the acreage of Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine types would not be appreciably altered by the fuel treatments. Most models suggested the harvest treatment would reduce area burned by wildfire and smoke emissions; some models suggested the prescribed fire treatment would reduce wildfire acreage. All models suggested that the harvest treatment would reduce acreage of pole-size trees; some models suggested the fire treatment would increase acreage of sapling-size trees.
