Webinar presented by Jeremy Weiss, Climate and Geospatial Extension Scientist at the University of Arizona, and hosted by the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative.

All ecosystems are dynamic, changing due to growth, succession and disturbances. Modeling large landscapes in the United States requires the collective knowledge of experienced and knowledgeable vegetation and fire experts. In collaboration with hundreds of colleagues, LANDFIRE produced more than 1,000 state-and-transitions models and descriptions — one for every ecosystem (called Biophysical Settings or BpS) mapped by the Program. The result is a major contribution to basic and applied vegetation ecology across the country.

This Western Governors' Drought Forum webinar explored the latest science on forest management practices that may increase water availability and add security to water portfolios.

"Temperature as a potent driver of regional forest drought stress & tree mortality" presented by the Southwest Fire Science Consortium. Dr. Park Williams will discuss his recent work to derive a forest drought-stress index (FDSI) for the southwestern United States using a comprehensive tree-ring data set representing AD 1000–2007.
