BIOLOGICAL CONTROLWEST BOULDER RIVER, MONTANA-- As the menace posed by biological invaders grows, many scientists and governments are fighting fire with fire by importing natural enemies of exotic weeds and pests. But the "good" exotics may become problems themselves, attacking nontarget native species or reshuffling ecosystems in unwanted ways.

Notes and Queries, 1907 Fire Load, Fire Severity, and Fire Endurance
1970A review is presented of fire studies beginning with the work of Ingberg at the National Bureau of Standards, who attempted to relate the severity of a fire endurance test in the laboratory to the conditions existing during actual building fires. He showed the importance of weight of combustibles per unit floor area as a major factor. He recognized the

Fire Regimes, Fire Ecology, and Fire Management in Mexico
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2008I propose several broad fire regimes and provide an analysis of fire ecology for the principal vegetation types in Mexico. Forty percent of Mexican ecosystems are fire-dependent (pine forests, several oak forests, grasslands, several shrublands, savannas, palm lands, wet prairies, "popal" and "tular" swamps), 50% are fire-sensitive (tropical rain ...

Experimental Firing and Re-firing
2016Ceramics are by definition inorganic non-metallic materials, formed from a powder and by firing converted to a permanent solid mass. Firing is thus a sine qua non for the creation of a ceramic product. This chapter discusses the mineralogical changes and the changes in physical properties which occur in raw materials during the firing process ...
