SFI is engaging with the National Council for Air and Stream Improvement (NCASI) to determine whether aquatic biological diversity varies with forest management or fire extent and severity. NCASI is assessing which landscape or management factors are the most influential predictors of aquatic biological diversity in forested streams. Inclusive in the forest management analysis is pre-fire management and post-fire management. NCASI is also evaluating biodiversity across control watersheds in Oregon and Washington that are part of forestlands certified to SFI standards to explore how SFI-certified management of lands around these watersheds may have affected resiliency to large landscape-scale wildfires.
