Download or read book The Fire and Fuels Extension to the Forest Vegetation Simulator written by Elizabeth D. Reinhardt and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fire and Fuels Extension (FFE) to the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) simulates fuel dynamics and potential fire behavior over time, in the context of stand development and management. Existing models of fire behavior and fire effects were added to FVS to form this extension. New submodels representing snag and fuel dynamics were created to complete the linkages. This report contains four chapters. Chapter 1 states the purpose and chronicles some applications of the model. Chapter 2 details the model's content, documents links to the supporting science, and provides annotated examples of the outputs. Chapter 3 is a user's guide that presents options and examples of command usage. Chapter 4 describes how the model was customized for use in different regions. Fuel managers and silviculturists charged with managing fire-prone forests can use the FFEFVS and this document to better understand and display the consequences of alternative management actions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FFE-FVS is a model linking stand development, fuel dynamics, fire behavior and fire effects. It allows comparison of mid- to long-term effects of management alternatives including harvest, mechanical fuel treatment, prescribed fire, salvage, and no action. Geographical variants use locally calibrated growth algorithms, decay parameters, fire effects relationships, and fuel modeling logic.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Fire and Fuels Extension FFE to the Forest Vegetation Simulator FVS Within the Missouri Ozarks written by Casey Ghilardi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a stand-based, individual tree growth and yield model designed and maintained by the USDA Forest Service. It is used by land managers on public and private ownerships to simulate and compare the effects of silvicultural treatments on forest stand dynamics including tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. The Fire and Fuels Extension (FFE) of FVS is designed to simulate changes in fuel loading through time and can incorporate user-specified fuel treatments into projections. We tested whether the default model fuel loading values from two FVS variants (Central States and Southern variants) were representative of field-based fuel loads using FIA data collected in the Ozark Highland region. We also compared fuel loads projected by FVS-FFE to empirical data collected from a 14-year study examining the impact of harvesting and burning on fuel loading in the Missouri Ozarks. Preliminary findings indicate that default values for both variants were not representative of light fuels (litter, 1, and 10 hour fuels), while larger fuel classes were represented better by the Central States variant than the Southern variant. Choice of variant did not significantly change projected fuel loading for all fuel classes at the end of the 14-year simulation. Results suggest that choice of variant has little impact on short-term projections and that using observed fuel values rather than defaults can improve projection accuracy in the short-term.

Download or read book Third Forest Vegetation Simulator Conference written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS) is a suite of computer modeling tools for predicting the long-term effects of alternative forest management actions. FVS was developed in the early 1980s and is used throughout the United Sates and British Columbia. The Third FVS conference, held February 13-15, 2007, in Fort Collins Colorado, contains 20 papers. They describe the use of FVS on the stand and landscape scale, and to analyze fuels management in the presence of insects and fire. Several papers compare FVS predictions of the effects of insects and disease to field measurements. FVS is continually evolving and improving in technology and capability to meet the needs of its ever increasing user community. Papers describe new methods for data acquisition and preparation for input to FVS, new economic analysis capabilities within FVS, new methods for simulating forest regeneration, new developments in calculating growth and mortality, and future plans for incorporating the effects of climate change in model simulations.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this project was to integrate existing fire behavior, vegetation simulation, and land management planning tools into a system that supports long-term fuel management decisions. The system was to build on the existing land management optimization tool MAGIS, while incorporating the Forest Vegetation Simulator and the Fire and Fuels Extension (FVS-FFE) to project vegetation change over planning periods and predict the resulting fuel parameters for fire behavior modeling, and FlamMap to model fire behavior in each planning period. The system was to include automated data transfer interfaces between the models to offer an easier way to use multiple sophisticated models for analyzing alternative fuel management schedules.
