Fact Sheet: The Great Basin Factsheet Series 2016 provides land managers with brief summaries of the best available information on contemporary management issues to facilitate science delivery and foster effective management

Article: Some Wildfire Ignition Causes Pose More Risk of Destroying Houses than Others results suggest that targeting fire prevention strategies around ignition causes, such as improving powerline safety and targeted arson reduction programmes, and reducing fire spread may decrease the number of wildfires that destroy houses.

Synthesis: Greater and Gunnison Sage-Grouse review summarizes the fire effects information and relevant ecology of greater sage-grouse and Gunnison sage-grouse in North America that was available in the scientific literature as of 2016. 

Report: Places where wildfire potential and social vulnerability coincide in the coterminous United States found that places with high wildfire potential have, on average, lower social vulnerability than other places, but nearly 10% of all housing in places with high wildfire potential also exhibits high social vulnerability.
