Wildland fire is one of the most important natural disturbances of ecosystems. It is also a disturbance that presents a risk to human society that is difficult to balance among competing interests. This course will serve as an introduction to disturbance ecology with a focus on wildland fire. Fire will be examined at many levels: the weather and fuel conditions that result in a range of fire behaviors, the effects of fire on vegetation and ecosystems, and the history of fire including its connection to long-term climate change. We will study fire as an important process in all of the major biomes, not only the Pacific Northwest. Other natural disturbances to be addressed include wind, insect outbreaks, ice storms, and drought, all of which have synergistic effects with fire. The last portion of the class will address human use and suppression of fire, including specific management issues of fire in the Pacific Northwest. Field trips will involve visits to a variety of forest types and recent fires.
