Indigenous peoples' detailed traditional knowledge about fire, although superficially referenced in various writings, has not for the most part been analyzed detail or simulated by resource managers, wildlife biologists, and ecologists…. Instead, scientists have developed principles theories of fire ecology, behavior effects models, concepts conservation, management ecosystem largely independent native examples. North American tribes on ecosystems, habitats, resources. For millennia, used to...
Forest landscapes across western North America (wNA) have experienced extensive changes over the last two centuries, while climatic warming has become a global reality four decades. Resulting interactions between historical increases in forested area and density recent rapid warming, increasing insect mortality, wildfire burned areas, are now leading to substantial abrupt landscape alterations. These outcomes forcing forest planners managers identify strategies that can modify future...
SignificanceWe provide the first assessment of aboveground live tree biomass in a mixed conifer forest over late Holocene. The record, coupled with local Native oral history and fire scar records, shows that burning practices, along natural lightning-based regime, promoted long-term stability structure composition for at least 1 millennium California forest. This record demonstrates climate alone cannot account observed conditions. Instead, forests were also shaped by regime frequent fire,...
Abstract This article highlights the findings of literature on aboriginal fire from human- and land-centered disciplines, suggests that traditional knowledge indigenous peoples be incorporated into plans for reintroducing to nation's forests. Traditional represents outcome long experimentation with application by people, which can inform contemporary policy discussions.
Abstract The concept of forest landscape restoration (FLR) is being widely adopted around the globe by governmental, non‐governmental agencies, and private sector, all whom see FLR as an approach that contributes to multiple global sustainability goals. Originally, was designed with a clearly integrative dimension across sectors, stakeholders, space time, in particular natural social sciences. Yet, practice, this integration remains challenge many efforts. Reflecting lack are continued...

Abstract Background Karuk and Yurok tribes in northwestern California, USA, are revitalizing the practice of cultural burning, which is use prescribed burns to enhance culturally important species. These critical livelihoods indigenous peoples, were widespread prior establishment fire exclusion policies. One major objectives burning California hazelnut ( Corylus cornuta Marsh var. californica ) basketry stem production for basketweavers. To evaluate as a form human ecosystem engineering, we...
Before widespread fire exclusion policies, American Indians used broadcast understory fires or cultural burns to enhance resources integral for their livelihood and practices. To restore ecocultural depleted from decades of reduce wildfire risks, the Karuk Yurok Tribes Northwest California are leading regional collaborative efforts expand fuel reduction treatments on public, private, Tribal lands in ancestral territories. Through collaboration with members basketweavers, we evaluated effects...
Abstract To test the hypothesis that wildfire smoke can cool summer river and stream water temperatures by attenuating solar radiation air temperature, we analyzed data on smoke, radiation, temperatures, precipitation, discharge, in lower Klamath River Basin Northern California. Previous studies have focused effect of combustion heat during fires riparian vegetation losses postfire but know no effects or temperatures. Wildfire is difficult to quantify, successfully used a newly available...
The hundreds of Indigenous tribes in the United States harbor diverse perspectives about natural world, yet they share many views that are important for ecosystem restoration efforts. This paper features examples how such have guided through partnerships between tribal communities and U.S. Forest Service western States. Traditional influenced by deepening understanding reference conditions, expanding consideration system dynamics, guiding treatment based upon ethical principles beliefs. More...
Abstract The combined effects of Indigenous fire stewardship and lightning ignitions shaped historical regimes, landscape patterns, available resources in many ecosystems globally. resulting regimes created complex fire–vegetation dynamics that were further influenced by biophysical setting, disturbance history, climate. While there is increasing recognition among western scientists managers, the extent purpose cultural burning generally absent from landscape–fire modeling literature our...
Abstract Within governance agencies, academia, and communities alike, there are increasing calls to recognize the value importance of culture within social‐ecological systems better implement Indigenous sciences in research, policy, management. Efforts thus far have raised questions about best ethical practices do so. Engaging with plural worldviews perspectives on their own terms reflects cultural evolutionary processes driving paradigm shifts 3 fundamental areas natural resource...
Microorganisms in agricultural soils play a key role nutrient recycling and availability for plants. The diversity abundance of these microorganisms the subsequent microbiological processes can however be influenced by different factors. This includes among others crop type grown on field, farmers’ field management various soil parameters as farming may highly affect abundance. Some practices aiming at increasing yield such ploughing or nitrogen fertilization might actually...
Soil microbial biodiversity studies commonly rely on molecular datasets from communities extracted their natural contexts. While immensely important for many research questions, this can lead to artefacts such as falsely interpreting interactions where organisms were strongly spatially separated in the soil habitat, and difficulties differentiating active passive or dormant organisms.We developed a way overcome some of problems extraction steps: Microfluidic chips, transparent micromodels...
A long history of tribal disenfranchisement through government policies has contributed to a lack trust and participation by communities in nontribal organizations initiatives. This article will discuss the process which new partnerships were forged using community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach among university researchers, local organizations, three Tribes Klamath River Basin southern Oregon northern California five-year federal food security grant.

The influence of Native American land-use practices on vegetation composition and structure has long been a subject significant debate. This is particularly true in portions the western United States where tribal hunter-gatherers did not use agriculture to meet subsistence other cultural needs. Climate viewed as dominant determinant change over time, but ethnographic anthropological evidence suggests that (particularly through fire) had landscape effects vegetation. However, it difficult...
