JFSP Fire Science Exchange Network
Both climatic and land use factors will have an effect on long-term spatial and temporal patterns of fire and structure loss within California.
Read MoreResearch results show that Knobcone pine populations are extremely dynamic, with losses, gains, extirpation and colonization occurring among different populations across its range.
Read MoreThe authors show a direct connection between a diverse set of drivers and type-converted chaparral in Southern California. Example drivers include high frequency fire, land-use disturbance, moisture availability, and site flatness.
Read MoreThis research brief discusses the lessons learned from the costly fires of 2003 in Southern California. Recommendations on future fuel reduction strategies and placement are discussed.

Read MoreThis study examined how housing location and arrangement affects the likelihood that a structure will be lost when a wildfire occurs.
Read More This 2003 study used aerial photos taken between 1939 and 1997 to quantify vegetation change in the landscape mosaic of grasslands, shrublands, woodlands and forests of the San Francisco Bay Area.
