The Rocky Mountain Research Station
The Rocky Mountain Research Station is one of five regional units that make
up the US Forest Service Research and
Development organization—the most
extensive natural resources research organization in the world. We maintain 14
research locations throughout a 12 state
territory encompassing the Great Basin,
Southwest, Rocky Mountains and parts
of the Great Plains. The Station employs
over 400 permanent full-time employees,
including roughly 100 research scientists.
Scientists conduct research that spans
an area containing 52% of the nation's National Forest System lands (54 National
Forests and Grasslands). In the lower 48
states, our territory also includes 55% of
the nation's BLM lands; 48% of the designated wildernesses; 37% of National
Park Service lands; numerous other public and tribal lands; and 41% of the nonurban/rural private lands.
We administer and conduct ecological research on 14 experimental forests, ranges, and watersheds over the longterm, even centuries, enabling us to learn how forests change as climate and other factors change over time.
We also oversee activities on several hundred research natural areas, a network of ecosystems set aside to conserve biological diversity. The areas represent a wide variety of habitats and ecosystems from alpine ecosystems
to lowlands; and from coniferous forests of the Northern Rockies to semiarid deserts of the Southwest and prairie
ecosystems of the Great Plains.

Wetland and riparian
ecosystems
Online only
Historical range of variation assessment for wetland and riparian ecosystems, U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region. Gage, Edward; Cooper,
David J. 2013. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-286WWW. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 239 p.
This document provides an overview of historical range of variation concepts
and explores their application to wetland and riparian ecosystems in the US Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2), which includes National Forests
and National Grasslands occurring in the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska,
Kansas, and South Dakota. For each of five ecosystem types - riparian areas, fens,
wet meadows, salt flats, and marshes - we review key structural and functional
characteristics including geomorphic setting, principal ecological drivers, classification, and dominant vegetation. In addition, we discuss anthropogenic factors
known to influence the abundance or condition of each main wetland type.

Measuring water and
sediment discharge
Order 34
Measuring water and sediment discharge from a road plot with a settling
basin and tipping bucket. Black, Thomas A.; Luce, Charles H. 2013. Gen. Tech.
Rep. RMRS-GTR-287. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest
Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 38 p.
A simple empirical method quantifies water and sediment production from
a forest road surface, and is well suited for calibration and validation of road
sediment models. To apply this quantitative method, the hydrologic technician
installs bordered plots on existing typical road segments and measures coarse
sediment production in a settling tank. When a tipping bucket gauge and a flow
splitting device are added to the installation, both coarse and fine sediment can
be collected along with a continuous discharge record. Included in this report is
the design of a simple and inexpensive tipping bucket system and the procedures
for measuring plot discharge up to 60 gal (227 L) per minute.

Wildfires and risk
management

Decision making for wildfires: A guide for applying a risk management
process at the incident level. Taber, Mary A.; Elenz, Lisa M.; Langowski, Paul
G. 2013. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-298WWW. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 59 p.
This publication focuses on the thought processes and considerations surrounding a risk management process for decision making on wildfires. The publication
introduces a six element risk management cycle designed to encourage sound riskinformed decision making in accordance with Federal wildland fire policy, although
the process is equally applicable to non-Federal fire managers and partners. The
process describes the assessment and control of identified risks, the analysis of
benefits and costs, and the risk decision at multiple scales. Decision makers can
apply principles from this publication to specific decision documentation structures
such as the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) or other wildland
fire decision documentation systems.

Wilderness campsites:
Changing conditions

April to June 2013
Changing conditions on wilderness campsites: Seven case studies of trends
over 13 to 32 years. Cole, David N. 2013. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-300. Fort
Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain
Research Station. 99 p.
This report brings together seven case studies of trends in the number and
condition of wilderness campsites over periods ranging from 13 to 32 years. Case
examples come from five mountainous wilderness areas in the western United
States: Sequoia-Kings Canyon Wilderness in California, the Eagle Cap Wilderness in Oregon, the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho and
the Selway-Bitterroot and Lee Metcalf Wilderness in Montana, as well as Grand
Canyon National Park in Arizona and Caney Creek Wilderness in Arkansas.
Campsite impacts have recently plateaued or declined in most wildernesses in
this compilation. In the most extreme cases, campsite improvement reflects (1)
successful implementation of a use concentration or containment strategy, and
(2) an active wilderness ranger program, involving obliteration of unnecessary or
poorly located campsites and maintenance and cleaning of established campsites.

Climate change and
Southwest species
vulnerability
Order 36
Vulnerability of species to climate change in the Southwest: Threatened,
endangered, and at-risk species at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Bagne, Karen
E.; Finch, Deborah M. 2013. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-302. Fort Collins, CO:
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 183 p.
The response of species to climate change is uncertain and will be the outcome
of complex interactions and processes. Nevertheless, a simple flexible strategy is
needed to help integrate climate change into management planning and actions. This
assessment uses SAVS, a vulnerability scoring tool based on ecological principles,
to rank individual species of interest within the Fort Huachuca region according
to predicted climate change responses and associated population declines balanced
with responses expected to incur resilience or population increases. Specific areas
of vulnerability, research needs, and management implications are identified for
each species. Several critical management areas can mitigate negative impacts
to benefit multiple species, including fire and fuels, invasive species, natural and
artificial waters, and landscape-scale planning. Management planning should be
in place that will assist species impacted by extreme events such as prolonged
drought, severe wildfires, and intense flooding. The assessment process was also
used to identify areas where climate change may present opportunities, as opposed
to challenges, for management of TER-S.

Burnup model: Predicted
fuel consumption
Online only
April to June 2013
Predicted fuel consumption in the Burnup model: Sensitivity to four user
inputs. Lutes, D. C. 2013. Res. Note RMRS-RN-51WWW. Fort Collins, CO: U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 11 p.
Fuelbeds consist of a number of combustible components that are consumed
during a fire, including duff, litter, vegetation (herbs, shrub, foliage, and branches)
and down dead woody material (DWM). Combustion of DWM during a fire has a
well-documented role in determining fire effects and fire behavior impacts such
as emissions (Sandberg and others 2002), vegetative changes (Brown and Smith
2000), soil heating (Neary and others 2005), and fire intensity (Pyne and others
1996). Inventory programs and research studies, such as Brown and See 1981,
note that on forested sites in the United States DWM is often the second most
abundant fuel component by mass (after duff), so an accurate prediction of DWM
consumption is important for determining fire effects and fire behavior.

Comparison of Kalman
filters
Order 37
Comparison of Kalman filters in combining panel data from the annual
inventory system of the South Korea National Forest Inventory. Lam,
Tzeng Yih; Czaplewski, Raymond L.; Yim, Jong Su; Lee, Kyeong Hak; Kim, Sung
Ho; Kim, Rae Hyun. 2013. Res. Note RMRS-RN-52. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 15 p.
National Forest Inventories (NFIs) serve a primary purpose of providing crucial
information for formulating national forest policy, environmental planning and
reporting to international processes (Tomppo and others 2010). Pressure for timely
and reliable forestry statistics urges countries to put a NFI in place or to consider
alternative designs. Some countries, for example, USA and Finland, moved from
a periodic inventory design to an annual inventory design (Lawrence and others
2010) with the Swedish NFI being one of the earliest examples of the transition
(Matérn 1960, Ranneby and others 1987). An annual inventory systematically
subdivides a plot network, with equal proportion, into a number of panels equal
to the length of measurement cycle (Reams and others 2005). A measurement
cycle is typically five or ten years. Panels are measured successively on an annual
basis. Remeasurement starts in the next cycle once all panels are visited. Thus,
an annual inventory is expected to meet the demand for continually updated
information.

FIA panel data analysis
Online only
Model-based time-series analysis of FIA panel data absent re-measurements. Czaplewski, Raymond L.; Thompson, Mike T. 2013. Res. Pap. RMRSRP-102WWW. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service,
Rocky Mountain Research Station. 13 p.
An epidemic of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) mortality from the mountain
pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) has swept across the Interior West. Aerial
surveys monitor the areal extent of the epidemic, but only Forest Inventory and
Analysis (FIA) field data support a detailed assessment at the tree level. Dynamics
of the lodgepole pine population occur at a more rapid rate than the FIA 10-year
re-measurement cycle. A model-based approach links population-level estimates
from each annual FIA panel estimate. A simple multivariate model predicts the
statewide rates of annual change among live uninfected trees, live infected trees,
mortality trees, and standing dead trees. A multivariate weighted sum of panel
estimates and model predictions of the same attributes improve estimates for each
year. Biological structure incorporated into the model improves logical consistency
among the various categories of tree-level estimates and smooths annual fluctuations caused by random sampling error. We present concepts in simple terms and
illustrate results with FIA data from 2002 to 2008.

Fire severity and

Fuel treatments and fire severity: A meta-analysis. Martinson, Erik J.; Omi,
Philip N. 2013. Res. Pap. RMRS-RP-103WWW. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department
of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 38 p.
We employed meta-analysis and information theory to synthesize findings reported in the literature on the effects of fuel treatments on subsequent fire intensity
and severity. Data were compiled from 19 publications that reported observed fire
responses from 62 treated versus untreated contrasts. Effect sizes varied widely
and the most informative grouping of studies distinguished three vegetation types
and three types of fuel treatment. The resultant meta-analytic model is highly
significant (p<0.001) and explains 78% of the variability in reported observations
of fuel treatment effectiveness. Our synthesis highlights several considerations
that both support and inform the current fuels management paradigm.

RMRS New Publications
April to June 2013
Science Program Areas
The Rocky Mountain Research Station is evolving from a Station with 30 research work units (including ecosystem management
units and national programs) to a comprehensive programmatic structure consisting of eight Science Program areas and several
Research, Development and Applications programs. Descriptions of the Science Program areas follow below.
Air, Water and Aquatic Environments
Air quality, water availability, water quality, and aquatic habitats are critical issues within the rapidly changing Western
United States. The Air, Water and Aquatic Environments program is committed to the development of knowledge and science
applications related to air and water quality, as well as the habitat quality, distribution, diversity, and persistence of fish and
other aquatic species. Website: http://www.fs.fed.us/rm/boise/awae_home.shtml. Contack Frank McCormick, Program Manager,
for more information: 208-373-4351.
Fire, Fuel and Smoke
The Fire, Fuel and Smoke program works to improve the safety and effectiveness of fire management through the creation and
dissemination of basic fire science knowledge. The program investigates the impacts of fires on the environment by means of
fundamental and applied research for understanding and predicting fire behavior, its effects on ecosystems, and its emissions into
the atmosphere. Website: http://www.firelab.org. Contact Colin Hardy, Program Manager, for more information: 406-329-4978.
Forest and Woodland Ecosystems
Forests and woodlands are increasingly being impacted by large scale urbanization and human developments, uncharacteristically
large and severe wildfires, insect and disease outbreaks, exotic species invasions, and drought, and interactions of multiple
stressors at local, landscape, and regional scales. The Forest and Woodland Ecosystems program acquires, develops, and delivers the
scientific knowledge for sustaining and restoring forests and woodlands landscape health, biodiversity, productivity, and ecosystem
processes. Website: http://www.fs.fed.us/rmrs/research/programs/forest-woodlands-ecosystem/. Contact Tom Crow, Program Manager,
for more information: 970-498-1378.
Grassland, Shrubland and Desert Ecosystems
Disruptions by large-scale clearing for agriculture, water diversions, extensive grazing, changes in the native fauna, the advent
of alien weeds, altered fire regimes, and increases in human-caused insect and disease epidemics have contributed to produce
areas that are in unsuitable condition. The Grassland, Shrubland and Desert Ecosystems program addresses the biology, use,
management, and restoration of these grass and shrublands. Website: http://www.fs.fed.us/rmrs/research/programs/grasslandshrubland-desert/. Contact Debbie Finch, Program Manager, for more information: 505-724-3671.
Human Dimensions
The Human Dimensions program provides social and economic science based innovation to human societies as they develop a
sustainable relationship with their environment. Major issues confronting societies across the globe such as global climate
change, energy, fire, water, and ecosystem services all have important social-economic dimensions that will be explored and
addressed by this program. Website: http://www.fs.fed.us/rmrs/research/programs/social-economics-decision/. contact Cindy
Swanson, Program Manager for more information: 406-329-3388.
Inventory, Monitoring and Analysis
The Inventory, Monitoring and Analysis program provides the resource data, analysis, and tools needed to effectively identify
current status and trends, management options and impacts, and threats and impacts of fire, insects, disease, and other natural
processes. Website: http://www.fs.fed.us/rm/ogden/. Contact Michael Wilson for more information: 801-625-5407.
Science Application and Integration
The Science Application and Integration program is a knowledge transfer unit that provides leadership for the integration and
use of scientific information in natural resource planning and management across the Interior West.
Wildlife and Terrestrial Ecosystems
The Wildlife and Terrestrial Ecosystems program is engaged in sustaining species and ecosystems of concern through studies of
ecological interactions within and between plant, aquatic, and terrestrial animal communities; understanding public use effects
through studies elucidating social and economic values associated with consumptive and non-consumptive uses of fish and
wildlife; managing terrestrial and aquatic habitats; and evaluating outcomes of land and water uses and natural disturbances.
