We have synthesized existing knowledge from the peer-reviewed literature and administrative studies and acquired local knowledge through a series of discussions with fuels treatment practitioners. We describe specific treatments, the circumstances under which they can be applied, and treatment effects. We provide recommendations related to where, how, and how often fuels treatments may be prescribed to achieve desired outcomes. Desired outcomes address social, political, economic, and ecological factors.Fuel reduction (Wildfire prevention)West (U.S.)Forests and forestryFire managementWest (U.S.)Ponderosa pineWest (U.S.)Fire ecologyWest (U.S.)Fuel reduction (Wildfire prevention)Forests and forestryFire managementPonderosa pineFire ecologyHunter Molly E1410887Rocky Mountain Research Station (Fort Collins, Colo.)OREOREGPOBOOK9910696856903321A comprehensive guide to fuels treatment practices for ponderosa pine in the Black Hills, Colorado Front Range, and Southwest3535749UNINA
