- Description
- In concert with ongoing work funded by the Global Change program, we now propose to apply this method at a National scale. Local fire managers have worked with FPA to create sets of proposed fuel treatments for each of 134 Fire Planning Units spanning CONUS, and these treated landscapes were used as inputs to LFSim to provide a set of burn probabilities for the landscape under a treatment scenario. Expected carbon and emmissions will be calculated for this treatment scenario, with tree lists altered to reflect mechanical thinning and prescribed fire treatments. The results of the fuel treatment scenario will be compared with those from current conditions to determine where and how carbon storage differed due to fuel treatments. It is expected that the landscape in and adjacent to fuel treatments will show reduced burn probabilities due to reduced rate of spread in the treated areas, resulting in a carbon benefit in these areas. Authority Cited: FAR 6.302-3 Industrial mobilization; engineering, developmental, or research capability; or expert services.
