Fire is a key driver of landscape change, and there is feedback between the state of the landscape and the size and severity of fire. ESSA provides services to help predict the impact of fire and to show how that impact can change over time with changes in fuel and vegetation, based on tree growth, mortality, and management. This information can help managers make decisions about fuel treatment options in forested landscapes.

Hydroelectric projects, human water extractions, fisheries, timber harvesting, invasive species, urban expansion, aquatic pollution, and climate change — these are some of the multiple stresses affecting the planet’s aquatic ecosystems.
