Purpose of Review

Science plays a critical role in natural resource management, and the use of science in decision-making is mandated by several policy initiatives. Other disciplines have documented the challenges associated with applying science to management and possible solutions to overcoming challenges, but the evaluation of science use in wildland fire management is relatively immature. In this paper, we reviewed the available literature that evaluates science use in wildland fire management and common barriers and facilitators to science use in decision-making.

Recent Findings

We developed a conceptual model that describes the possible uses of science in fire management (perception, planning, forecasting, implementation, assessment, communication, and policy), common barriers to science use (lack of science, uncertainty, funding/capacity, conflict), common facilitators to fire science use (collaboration, trust, boundary organizations, co-production), and factors that can act as facilitators or barriers to science use depending on their presence or absence (awareness, accessibility, relevance). In the context of our conceptual model, we reviewed 67 papers that examined fire science use between 1986 and 2019.

Summary

Most studies were conducted in the USA in the last 10 years and demonstrated that science is commonly used in fire management and that the maturation of organizations devoted to science translation and communication in the last 10 years has likely facilitated the application of fire science. The evaluation of fire science use, however, is still relatively immature, with studies needed on the use of fire science in countries outside the USA, the use of science in the management of wildfires, and in the crafting of policy related to wildland fire management.

科学在野火管理中的应用：障碍与促进者的评论

审查目的

科学在自然资源管理中发挥着至关重要的作用，科学在决策中的使用受到多项政策倡议的强制性要求。其他学科也记录了与将科学应用于管理有关的挑战以及克服挑战的可能解决方案，但是对野火管理中科学使用的评估还不成熟。在本文中，我们回顾了评估野火管理中科学使用的现有文献以及决策中科学使用的常见障碍和促进因素。

最近的发现

我们开发了一个概念模型，描述了科学在消防管理中的可能用途（感知，计划，预测，实施，评估，沟通和政策），科学使用的常见障碍（缺乏科学，不确定性，资金/能力，冲突） ，促进科学使用的常见促进者（合作，信任，边界组织，共同生产），以及根据其存在与否（意识，可及性，相关性）可以成为促进科学使用的障碍或障碍的因素。在我们的概念模型的背景下，我们审查了67篇论文，研究了1986年至2019年之间的火灾科学用途。

概要

大多数研究是在过去10年中在美国进行的，它们证明科学通常用于消防管理中，并且在过去10年中致力于科学翻译和交流的组织的成熟很可能促进了消防科学的应用。然而，对于在美国以外的国家使用消防科学，在野火管理中使用科学以及在制定与野火管理相关的政策方面需要进行研究，对消防科学使用的评估仍相对不成熟。 。
