This is the definitive fire history of Oregon Coast Range forests, woodlands, savanna's, and grasslands for the past 500 years. Its comprehensive research methods, references, and recommendations serve as a model for other landscape-scale fire histories and is primarily why it is being updated and reprinted at this time.

When seventeen-year-old Clay Dickerson joined a crew on a fire patrol rig north of Grants Pass, Oregon, in June of 1962, he could not know that this first job would lead to an almost forty-year career in forestry. In Fire At My Feet, he shares the story of his life and the role his job played during those years. This memoir chronicles his journey where his duties and responsibilities increased while he matured into manhood. Dickerson tells how after earning a college degree, he became a professional forester in Oregon. He narrates a host of stories about the unusual, exciting, and sometimes dangerous situations he faced throughout his tenure. Dickerson discusses how his long career involved comprehensive and balanced forest management activities, including work on wildland fires in various on-the-line and overhead capacities throughout Oregon, as well as in northern California and eastern Washington. With photos included, Fire At My Feet offers unique insight into one man’s adventures in the woods of Oregon as a forest firefighter.

This edited volume presents original scientific research and knowledge synthesis covering the past, present, and potential future fire ecology of major US forest types, with implications for forest management in a changing climate. The editors and authors highlight broad patterns among ecoregions and forest types, as well as detailed information for individual ecoregions, for fire frequencies and severities, fire effects on tree mortality and regeneration, and levels of fire-dependency by plant and animal communities. The foreword addresses emerging ecological and fire management challenges for forests, in relation to sustainable development goals as highlighted in recent government reports. An introductory chapter highlights patterns of variation in frequencies, severities, scales, and spatial patterns of fire across ecoregions and among forested ecosystems across the US in relation to climate, fuels, topography and soils, ignition sources (lightning or anthropogenic), and vegetation. Separate chapters by respected experts delve into the fire ecology of major forest types within US ecoregions, with a focus on the level of plant and animal fire-dependency, and the role of fire in maintaining forest composition and structure. The regional chapters also include discussion of historic natural (lightning-ignited) and anthropogenic (Native American; settlers) fire regimes, current fire regimes as influenced by recent decades of fire suppression and land use history, and fire management in relation to ecosystem integrity and restoration, wildfire threat, and climate change. The summary chapter combines the major points of each chapter, in a synthesis of US-wide fire ecology and forest management into the future. This book provides current, organized, readily accessible information for the conservation community, land managers, scientists, students and educators, and others interested in how fire behavior and effects on structure and composition differ among ecoregions and forest types, and what that means for forest management today and in the future.
