  • Cultivating reciprocity and supporting Indigenous lifeways through the cultural transformation of natural resource management in North America

    Open AccessJonathan James Fisk, Richard E W Berl et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Recent decades have seen increasing calls for implementing Indigenous Knowledges (IK) in natural resource management (NRM). However, efforts have been limited by the cultural incommensurabilities between (1) NRM institutions, which are rooted in worldviews that prioritize extraction for dominant cultures and assume dominance over nature and (2) Indigenous worldviews that prioritize kincentric reciprocity with the environment. This manuscript addr…

  • Forest management under uncertainty: The influence of management versus climate change and wildfire in the Lake Tahoe Basin, USA

  • Frequency of disturbance mitigates high-severity fire in the Lake Tahoe Basin, California and Nevada

    Open AccessCharles J Maxwell, Charles Maxwell et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2022

    Because of past land use changes and changing climate, forests are moving outside of their historical range of variation. As fires become more severe, forest managers are searching for strategies that can restore forest health and reduce fire risk. However, management activities are only one part of a suite of disturbance vectors that shape forest conditions. To account for the range of disturbance intensities and disturbance types (wildfire, bar…

  • Modeling the Risk Reduction Benefit of Forest Management Using a Case Study in the Lake Tahoe Basin

    Open AccessSamuel G Evans, Tim G Holland et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2022

    Across the United States, wildfire severity and frequency are increasing, placing many properties at risk of harm or destruction. We quantify and compare how different forest management strategies designed to increase forest resilience and health reduce the number of properties at risk from wildfire, focusing on the Lake Tahoe Basin of California and Nevada. We combine landscape change simulations (including climate change, wildfire, and manageme…

  • Water quality and forest restoration in the Lake Tahoe basin: Impacts of Future Management Options

    Open AccessMariana Dobre, Jonathan W Long et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2022

    Land managers in the Lake Tahoe basin are considering increasing the use of prescribed fire and forest thinning to restore conditions that will be more resilient to wildfires. However, such restorative treatments also constitute disturbances that could increase sediment and nutrient loads. We examined whether the water-quality impacts from future treatments are likely to be lower compared to the potential impacts from future wildfires under vario…

  • How Traditional Tribal Perspectives Influence Ecosystem Restoration

    Open AccessJonathan W Long, Frank K Lake et al.ARTICLEEcopsychology2020

    The hundreds of Indigenous tribes in the United States harbor diverse perspectives about the natural world, yet they share many views that are important for ecosystem restoration efforts. This paper features examples of how such views have guided ecosystem restoration through partnerships between tribal communities and the U.S. Forest Service in the western United States. Traditional perspectives have influenced restoration by deepening the under…

  • Questions That Won't Go Away in Participatory Research

    Jonathan W Long, Heidi L Ballard et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2015Cited by: 9References: 8

    Ethical issues are intrinsic to conducting research regarding society and natural resources, but they often become poignant when engaging in Participatory Action Research. We compiled common and persistent challenges into a list of "Questions That Won't Go Away" or "QTWGAs" that are relevant to people interested in conducting participatory research to benefit communities. We discuss these questions in the context of previously published literatur…

  • Cultural Foundations for Ecological Restoration on the White Mountain Apache Reservation

    Open AccessJonathan Long, Jonathan W Long et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2003

    "Myths, metaphors, and social norms that facilitate collective action and understanding of restoration dynamics serve as foundations for ecological restoration. The experience of the White Mountain Apache Tribe demonstrates how such cultural foundations can permeate and motivate ecological restoration efforts. Through interviews with tribal cultural advisors and restoration practitioners, we examined how various traditions inform their understand…
