The fourth California Chaparral Symposium (Cal Poly SLO; May 7-9, 2024) will focus on science, management, and conservation of chaparral ecosystems.
For the second talk of the 2024 FFERAL lecture series, Dr. Malcolm North will discuss tree spatial patterns and linkages to forest resilience.
For the second talk of the 2024 FFERAL lecture series, Dr. Scott Stephens will share results from a 20-year forest restoration study of prescribed fire and mechanical treatments in the northern Sierra Nevada.
For the inaugural talk of the 2024 FFERAL lecture series, Dr. Sarah Bisbing will present the experimental design and initial post-treatment results from the Adaptive Management Experiment (AMEX), a multi-year, multi-location empirical test of silvicultural approaches to forest resilience in a changing climate.
Please join us on Monday, May 3, 1:00 - 2:00 PDT for this presentation on several Mojave Desert restoration research projects conducted by Dr. Abella’s lab. The talk will cover effective techniques for native plant restoration in challenging arid environments.
To register, please contact Judy Perkins at: jlperkins@blm.gov . This event is free and open to the public.
This webinar discusses a new predictive model (POSCRPT) that predicts where postfire conifer regeneration is most likely to occur in these forest types.
This webinar showcases a new Post-fire Restoration Prioritization (PReP) tool for chaparral shrublands to aid resource managers with early detection and prioritization of degraded chaparral landscapes in need of restoration.
Event Announcement/Conference materials
This Symposium is dedicated to highlighting the importance of chaparral landscapes to the ecology, resources, and people of southern California.
The California Fire Science Consortium is divided into 4 geographic regions and 1 wildland-urban interface (WUI) team. Statewide coordination of this program is based at UC Berkeley.
