世界木材日基金会和国际木文化学会联合美国落基山研究站，共同制作“西部之火”系列视频。
 

　　在过去的几十年中，西部的野火已经成为美国面临的一个日益严重的问题。通过专业研究人员的演讲和小组讨论，我们想向公众展开一场关于野火发生方式和原因的对话，并希望带给人们对野火更多的认识和理解。
 

　　在这段视频中，我们邀请了来自落基山研究站（RMRS）的水文学家Charles H. Luce博士和科学传播专家Jessica Brewen博士，并荣幸邀请到Steve Ambrose，美国林务局退休林务官员，也是国际木文化学会的志愿者做客主持，重点讨论气候变化如何影响美国西部的野火等相关内容。
 

内容概要：
Presentation by RMRS Research Hydrologist: Dr. Charles H. Luce -
Wildfire and Climate Relationships in Western US 
# Why wildfire in the west has been increasing in recent times.
# Potential climate drivers of increased wildfire.
# How reduced snowpack, warmer temperature, and reduced summer wetting impact fire.
# How change of consecutive dry days affects wildfire spreading.
# Warming enabled upslope advance in western US forest fires.
# Declining precipitation and increasing evaporation have increased wildfire.
 

小组讨论： Q&A
# Low fire? High fire? How forests are affected by different kind of fires.
# Climate change and fire severity.
# How climate change research help land management.
# Could we foresee the impact climate change will bring to forest resources?
# How plants and animals adjust themselves to climate change.
# Are there any areas that could escape from the severity of climate change?
# Dendrochronology as a tool for climate change study.
# Does climate change bring more impact to western US than other areas?
# Definition of extreme fire.
# Why we need fire.
# Wildfire vs prescribed fire.
# Disturbance is part of the story.
# Serotinous cones.
# Pine tree in the North Pole?
# Mesic forest.
# Is climate change going to change our landscape?
