Effects of Pre- and Post-Fire Forest Management on Aquatic Biodiversity: An Evaluation of Fire Resiliency and Recovery
Contributing IUCN constituents:Sustainable Forestry Initiative, Inc.
Project Details
| Name | Effects of Pre- and Post-Fire Forest Management on Aquatic Biodiversity: An Evaluation of Fire Resiliency and Recovery |
| Description | SFI funded National Council for Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) to determine whether aquatic biological diversity, through eDNA sampling, varies with forest management or fire extent and severity within watersheds affected by megafires in western Oregon that burned in September 2020. NCASI, along with collaborators from the US Forest Service, Weyerhaeuser, and Oregon State University, will assess which landscape or management factors are the most influential predictors of aquatic biological diversity in forested streams. Inclusive in the forest management analysis is pre-fire management and post-fire management. NCASI will also evaluate biodiversity across control watersheds in Oregon and Washington that are part of forestlands certified to SFI standards. Sampling locations include SFI certified organizations that implement restoration and research requirements to meet certification. |

Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions
Absolute value (STAR)
180.4
0.6% of the total biodiversity conservation potential of United States of America is covered by this project.
31,794.1
5.8% of The Americas's biodiversity conservation potential is from United States of America.
543,527.6
45.4% of global biodiversity conservation potential is from The Americas.
This stacked bar chart represents the relative disaggregation of the selected contribution's total potential opportunity for reducing global species extinction risk through taking actions to abate different threats to species within its boundaries. The percentages refer to the amount of the total opportunity that could potentially be achieved through abating that particular threat.
