Integrating Fire Behavior Models and Geospatial Analysis for Wildland Fire Risk Assessment and Fuel Management Planning

Figure 8

Scatter plot of burn probability versus conditional flame length estimated with FlamMap simulations for wildland urban interface (WUI) and northern spotted owl nesting sites on the 0.6 million ha Deschutes National Forest in central Oregon. Data points are average values for polygons (ca. 100–3,000 ha). The figure shows relative risk in terms of likelihood (burn probability) and potential intensity (average flame length) for the individual WUIs and nest sites.
