Economic costs of U.S. wildfires
Wildfires in the U.S. are increasing in size, severity, and frequency, leading to a wildfire crisis where at-risk communities are experiencing rapidly escalating wildfire damages. The wildfire crisis necessitates adapting to evolving natural disasters and implementing efforts to mitigate the economic costs of wildfire. Better understanding of the type and magnitude of economic costs, along with trends over time, can provide valuable information f…
Return on investments in restoration and fuel treatments in frequent-fire forests of the American west
Arid forests in the American West contend with overly dense stands and a need to reduce fuels and restore more natural fire regimes. Forest restoration efforts include fuel treatments, such as thinning and prescribed burning, that can reduce ground and ladder fuels. Restoration and fuel treatments have emerged as leading wildfire risk-reduction strategies in the American West, yet little is known about the cost-effectiveness of such programs. To …
Amenity-based development and protected areas in the American West
Outdoor Recreation as a Sustainable Export Industry
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in northeastern Minnesota contains more than a million acres of connected lakes and rivers. As one of the most heavily visited U.S. Wilderness areas, the BWCAW represents an ecosystem managed primarily for conservation values that also has a substantial regional economic impact. This combination of high visitation and strong conservation management represents a sustainable symbiotic relationship w…
Forest density preferences of homebuyers in the wildland-urban interface
In the fire-prone Western U.S., the scale of surrounding forest density can be realized by homebuyers as an amenity for aesthetics and cooling effects, or as a disamenity in terms of wildfire risk. There has been a lack of academic attention to understanding this duality of forest density preferences for homebuyers in at-risk Wildland Urban Interfaces (WUIs). To fill this gap, we investigated the influence of forest density on WUI house sales in …
National and Community Market Contributions of Wilderness
Wilderness attracts tourists and generates visitor spending in proximate communities as people enjoy Wilderness for outdoor recreation. Wilderness also attracts amenity migrants and out-of-region investments into surrounding regional economies. To investigate the amount and types of employment and income generated by Wilderness visitation, we conducted an economic contribution analysis of aggregate national visitor expenditures. The U.S. Forest S…
