In the United States, increased wildland fire activity over the last 15 years has resulted in drastic damage and loss of life. An associated rapid increase in fire management costs has consumed higher portions of budgets of public entities involved in wildfire management, challenging their ability to fulfill other responsibilities. Increased public scrutiny highlights the need to improve wildland fire management for cost effectiveness. This book closely examines the development of basic wildfire suppression cost models for the United States and their application to a wide range of settings from informing incident decision making to programmatic review. The book also explores emerging trends in suppression costs and introduces new spatially explicit cost models to account for characteristics of the burned landscape. Finally, it discusses how emerging risk assessment tools can be better informed by integrating management cost models with wildfire simulation models and values at risk. Economics of Wildfire Management is intended for practitioners as a reference guide. Advanced-level students and researchers will also find the book invaluable. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Fire,$x2193-6595 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aForestry management 606 $aBusiness 606 $aManagement science 606 $aMathematical models 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 606 $aForestry Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22016 606 $aBusiness and Management, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/500000 606 $aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14068 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aForestry management. 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 0$aMathematical models. 615 14$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aForestry Management. 615 24$aBusiness and Management, general. 615 24$aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics. 676 $a628.9 700 $aHand$b Michael S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0994072 702 $aGebert$b Krista M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLiang$b Jingjing$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aCalkin$b David E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aThompson$b Matthew P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aZhou$b Mo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299050203321 996 $aEconomics of Wildfire Management$92276661 997 $aUNINA
