Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Prescribed fire is a widely used land management technique that accomplishes
many important cultural and ecological benefits to people and wildlife. Since 1935,
wildfires have been suppressed and prescribed fires have been largely removed from
the landscape. This has led to the loss of important cultural practices conducted by
tribes in the Klamath Mountains. Prescribed fire is particularly useful for producing
hazel plants that are optimal for basket weaving material used by the Karuk tribe. The goal of this study is to develop an allometric equation to
quantify the relationship between hazel height and basal diameter and look into fire effects interactions with hazel.
