Manage fire regimes, not fires

Nature Geoscience, 2021
Globally, land- and fire-management policies have counterproductively caused cascading ecosystem changes that exacerbate, rather than mitigate, wildfires. Given rapidly changing climate and land-use conditions that amplify wildfire risk, a policy shift to adaptive management of fire regimes is urgently needed.

Prescribed fire management

Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health, 2021
Abstract Fire plays a role in the vast majority of terrestrial ecosystems. Researchers have discovered that the negative effects of prescribed fire on soil, water and vegetation are transitory, and that benefits are much greater. This paper presents a synthesis of the most important recent work on the effects of prescribed fire on soil, water and ...

Fire Regimes, Fire Ecology, and Fire Management in Mexico

AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2008
I 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 ...

Fire disaster Management

1995
The frequency, and therefore the risk, of accidents fulfilling the criteria of disasters have increased significantly during the last decades, parallel to and generated by the development of communities. The reasons for this are obvious: increasing population density increased settlement of high-risk areas increased technological ...
