1 Webinar Series November 17, 2016 Restoration of fire-dependent pine barren ecosystems in northern Wisconsin Bridging the gap between research and management practices. Brian Sturtevant, Christel Kern, and Deahn Donner USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station Audio will start at top of the hour. This webinar is listen only to ask questions please use the chat box in lower right of LakeStatesFireSci.net
2 Restoration of fire-dependent pine barren ecosystems in northern Wisconsin Bridging the gap between research and management practices. Brian Sturtevant, Christel Kern, and Deahn Donner USDA FS Northern Research Station
3 Internships Goal (Intern 1, Sara Kelso): Provide exposure to fire science, management and forest restoration in addition to seed banks, field and greenhouse techniques, and plant germination and identification of pine barren ecosystems. Goal (Intern 2, Michael Dunn): Provide hands-on experience in fire science, management, and barrens restoration with an emphasis on plant identification within Reference Communities Approach: As part of a larger team of technicians, the intern will also get exposure to standard forestry practices and FIREMON protocol
4 Northwest Sands and Northeast Sands Ecological Landscapes Both are extensive glacial outwash ecosystems Primarily excessively drained, sandy and sandy loam soils Average growing season length is 121 days (NE Sands) and 122 (NW Sands) Source: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Ecological landscapes of Wisconsin: an assessment of ecological resources and a guide to planning sustainable management. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, PUB- SS , Madison.
5 Fire Dependent Pine Barren Ecosystems Open temperate grassland systems have been greatly reduced and are considered globally threatened Northeast Sands Spread Eagle Barrens, Florence Co. Northwest Sands Moquah Barrens, Bayfield Co. Major opportunity exists for restoring northern dry forest, pine barrens, and bracken grassland communities

Pairing: For fuel manipulation treatments, we have paired sites such that each manipulation plot has a paired plot with similar characteristics - typically within the same stand Burning Block (2 per year) To the extent possible evenly distribute treatments across burn blocks Year of Burn 2016 and 2017 both in mid-late May

Newtown Square, PA: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Northern Research Station. 25 p. Moquah Research Natural Area Established 1935 Establishment Question: What will naturally take place under fire protection only? We remeasured plots established by Dunn and Stearns (1980) Current Question To what extent can the RNA serve for reference conditions?
21 Important Aspects of Internship Heightened plant ID skills and introduction to new field techniques Opportunity to practice and sharpen field skills Experience with FIREMON protocol Opportunity to be able to work with a variety of people on several different projects Enhanced communication skills This experience allowed me to not only practice utilizing my field skills, but enabled me to strengthen them by sharing my knowledge with others that I worked with who came from different backgrounds and different experience levels. Sara Kelso My favorite part of the internship was collecting data on woodland vegetation in the Research Natural Area. Knowing what commonly occurred in the barrens allowed us to see the difference in species composition between the two sites. Michael Dunn
22 Why was this experience valuable? This experience will be one that I look back on and draw from in the years to come as I prepare myself for a career in natural resources research. Sara Kelso Sara Kelso working in the greenhouse
23 Why was this experience valuable? I learned that a surprisingly complex protocol for data collection can become second nature within a week I had never done fuel measurements or collected duff, litter, and mineral soil.i also never used USDA plant codes, and now I think of them every time I see certain species.
