制定保护计划的北方斑点猫头鹰（NSO）（条纹）在易受干扰的景观需要评估多种威胁和认真考虑的后果，旨在减少风险的管理行动。Hanson等人（2009年）使用了对最近高严重性野火造成的原始森林损失的向下修订的估计，认为最近的国家统计局恢复计划（USDI 2008年）高估了国家统计局在干旱、易发生火灾的森林中的火灾风险。我们认为他们的分析是错误和有缺陷的，并不支持他们的结论。此外，他们对积极管理表现出偏见，忽视了不支持他们观点的干旱森林的最新科学和风险因素。
The development of conservation plans for Northern Spotted Owls (NSO) (Strix occidentalis caurina) in disturbance-prone landscapes requires evaluation of multiple threats and careful consideration of the consequences of management actions intended to reduce risk. Hanson et al. (2009) used downwardly revised estimates of recent old-forest losses to high-severity wildfire to argue that the recent NSO recovery plan (USDI 2008) overestimates fire risk to the NSO in dry, fire-prone forests. We believe their analysis is erroneous and deficient and does not support their conclusions. Furthermore, they show a bias against active management by ignoring recent science and risk factors in dry forests that do not support their opinions.
