Across the American West, forests have diverse owners and are managed for different goals. But when wildfire ignites on one parcel—whether managed by the USDA Forest Service, a corporation, a tribe, or a family forest land owner—all neighbors are at risk.
Susan Charnley, a research social scientist with the Pacific Northwest Research Station, and colleagues recently looked at six projects in Oregon and California that were part of the Joint Chiefs’ Landscape Restoration Partnership to identify social factors that lead to success.

Eric White, Monika Derrien, and Dale Blahna with the Pacific Northwest Research Station, colleagues from the University of Washington, and recreation managers from the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, developed a method to use social media, such as Twitter and Instagram posts, to provide land managers with useful measures of recreational use.
They tested it in the heavily visited forest an hour outside the Seattle metropolitan area and on more rural, less visited public lands in northern New Mexico.

Brown root rot (caused by Phellinus noxius) and myrtle rust (caused by Austropuccinia psidii) are natural disturbances in their native tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems. These pathogens are threatening forest ecosystems around the world as they spread through international trade or other means, such as by wind or through the soil.
An international team, including Mee-Sook Kim with the Pacific Northwest Research Station analyzed the genetics of the two pathogens and mapped their likely spread based on the current locations of the various subgroups of each pathogen and contemporary and projected future climates.
