Abstract: The objective of this project is to develop a science-based, credible review of the concept, methods and applications of fire regimes and conditions classes (FRCC). Eleven scientists from across the country, representing different disciplines and organizations, will critique and provide recommendations for improvement. They will seek input from more than 30 different people from a diversity of federal agencies and nongovernmental organizations, then hold a workshop and draft a manuscript which will be submitted to a refereed journal for publication.
