The Alaska Wildland Fire Coordinating Group, representing agencies and land managers involved in managing wildfire has a Fire Research and Applications Committee (FRDAC). Periodically, the committee surveys members and collaborators to see what they consider to be the most important current areas of wildland fire research in the Alaska region. Science providers, in particular, may be interested in this management perspective on research. At last week’s interagency Fall Fire Review, committee chair Jennifer McMillan discussed top-ranked categories of fire effects, fuel treatments, and environmental/land cover change identified by the survey. For example, AWFCG members expressed interest in more research into fire effects on moose/caribou populations, subsistence lifestyles, migration patterns and berry production. For fuel treatments, the areas identified were treatment longevity and effectiveness, maintenance, and biodiversity and habitat responses.
