“…This makes the pattern of each individual fire important (because it will persist for years) when considering native fire-dependent species and their habitat needs. The Florida Scrub-Jay is one such species that is dependent on a particular habitat structure maintained by fire (Breininger and Carter, 2003;Breininger et al, 2006).…”

“…One such species is the Florida Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens Bosc. ), which is dependent on fine scale burn patterns for optimum demographic performance (Breininger et al, 2006). In this paper our goal was to answer the following three questions: (1) Could an image processing technique developed for mapping individual fire scars (Shao and Duncan, 2007) be applied to an image time series to map/describe a managed fire regime, within a rapid re-growth pyrogenic system on KSC/MINWR and surrounding federal properties of east central Florida, USA?…”

Land cover modeling is used to inform land management, but most often via a two-step process, where science informs how management alternatives can influence resources, and then, decision makers can use this information to make decisions. A more efficient process is to directly integrate science and decision-making, where science allows us to learn in order to better accomplish management objectives and is developed to address specific decisions. Co-development of management and science is especially productive when decisions are complicated by multiple objectives and impeded by uncertainty. Multiple objectives can be met by the specification of tradeoffs, and relevant uncertainty can be addressed through targeted science (i.e., models and monitoring). We describe how to integrate habitat and fuel monitoring with decision-making focused on the dual objectives of managing for endangered species and minimizing catastrophic fire risk. Under certain conditions, both objectives might be achieved by a similar management policy; other conditions require tradeoffs between objectives. Knowledge about system responses to actions can be informed by developing hypotheses based on ideas about fire OPEN ACCESSLand 2014, 3 875 behavior and then applying competing management actions to different land units in the same system state. Monitoring and management integration is important to optimize state-specific management decisions and to increase knowledge about system responses. We believe this approach has broad utility and identifies a clear role for land cover modeling programs intended to inform decision-making.

“…Suburbs on the Lake Wales Ridge on the central peninsula function as population sinks for Florida Scrub-Jays (Bowman 1998). In contrast, recruitment can exceed mortality in suburban landscapes on the Atlantic coast when the remaining scrub patches are managed under optimal fire-management regimes (Breininger et al 2003(Breininger et al , 2006.…”
