This study investigated fires along the Front Range to evaluate under what conditions treatments reduce the ecological impacts of fire. We determined factors influencing the relationship between treatments and burn severity, how burn severity differed across forest types, and how extreme fire weather conditions influenced burn severity across treatment types.
Learning Objectives:
list the factors influencing burn severity in treated areas on the Front Range
describe how forest type impacts treatment effectiveness
explain how fire weather conditions influence burn severity outcomes in different treatment types
