一个世纪的灭火工作给美国许多森林带来了沉重的燃料负荷，导致野火越来越激烈。解决这一问题需要广泛的燃料处理，但燃料处理规划者并不总是能够获得最新的科学信息，可以帮助指导他们的规划过程。启动了“燃料规划：科学综合与整合”项目，为管理人员汇编相关的燃料处理信息。产品包括各种专题的综合报告、造林处方指南、一套关于燃料处理可能产生的环境影响的模型和信息数据库，以及用于估计燃料处理成本和收入的财务分析工具。燃料规划项目提供了一个例子，说明管理人员和科学家之间的合作如何提高科学发现的效用。它目前正在与几个《国家环境政策法》跨学科小组建立伙伴关系，这些小组将利用这些决策支助工具规划2005年夏季开始的燃料减少项目。
A century of fire suppression has created heavy fuel loads in many U.S. forests, leading to increasingly intense wildfires. Addressing this problem will require widespread fuels treatments, yet fuels treatment planners do not always have access to the current scientific information that can help guide their planning process. The Fuels Planning: Science Synthesis and Integration project was launched to compile relevant fuels treatment information for managers. Products include syntheses on various topics, a guidebook on silvicultural prescriptions, a set of models and information databases on possible environmental effects of fuels treatments, and a financial analysis tool for estimating costs and revenues of fuels treatments. The Fuels Planning project provides an example of how collaboration between managers and scientists can improve the utility of scientific findings. It is currently forming partnerships with several National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) interdisciplinary teams who will use these decision support tools in planning fuels reduction projects starting in the summer of 2005.
