The Avian Science Center is located in the midst of the US Northern Rockies, a place where fire has an overarching influence on the forest ecosystems. We therefore have a particular interest in understanding fire and its ecological effects. We have begun a project to synthesize the known information regarding fire in this region. See Northern Rockies Fire.

Note that within the Forest Fire Effects section the bird link is simply a list of references. Look for the synthesis of Birds and Fire coming soon!
