Duration
2007 - 2014
Science Program
Conduct Applied Scientific Research
Develop a process-based model of tree and stand growth for the Tahoe Basin, and then model fire risk and fire spread for current stand conditions and the structural treatments under three different carbon dioxide scenarios to determine which fuels treatments reduce the risk of catastrophic fire and best meet location-specific goals.
