Managing Fire to Avoid Wildfires in Fire-prone Ecosystems

2021
<p>Fire-prone ecosystems evolved and have been managed by humans with fire for<br>millennia. Ignoring these socioecological realities, zero-fire policies have been<br>implemented in fire-prone ecosystems across the world. These inappropriate policies are<br>mainly originated from a forest-centered

Muscle Firing Order During Active Prone Hip Extension

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1990
This research was submitted in partial fulfillment for a Master of Science degree from Northwestern University. The purpose of this study was to determine if persons without a history of low back dysfunction use a statistically consistent muscle firing order of left erector spinae, right erector spinae, right gluteus maximus, and right biceps femoris ...

Reimagining fire management in fire-prone northern Australia

2015
Summary The northern savannas, occupying a quarter of the Australian land mass, constitute the most fire-prone landscapes of a fiery land – in recent years, on average, 18% of the savannas have been burnt each year. Land use is predominantly given over to extensive beef cattle pastoralism – although over much of the rangelands this is

Australian fires offer insight into fire-prone future

New Scientist, 2013
Climate change is ramping up fire risk around the world and in Australia, home to some of the most fire-prone regions on Earth, the raging bush fires could be a taster of what's to ...

Time since fire influences macropod occurrence in a fire‐prone coastal ecosystem

Austral Ecology, 2021
AbstractKnowledge of animal responses to fire is fundamental to wildlife management in fire‐prone ecosystems. Fire can influence the occurrence of large herbivores by altering the structure and composition of vegetation. However, how fire affects herbivore occurrence in many ecosystems is poorly understood.

Chemical inhibition of fire-prone grasses by fire-sensitive shrub,Conradina canescens

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1989
In an investigation of potential chemical activity of fire-sensitive shrubs in Florida's sand pine scrub community, bioassays of foliar washes ofConradina canescens showed significant inhibitory activity on three native grasses that are known to fuel frequent surface fires; inhibition was concentrated seasonally in spring and summer.

Allelopathic mechanism in fire-prone communities

1992
The Southeastern Coastal Plain of the USA supports two different communities on its upland, sandy soils. The communities share a common subtropical climate with heavy rains, seasonally concentrated in the summer. Both are exposed to fires on a regular basis, and both are dominated by pines (Pinus spp) and oaks (Quercus spp).

Geophysical-geochemical investigation of fire-prone landfills

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2009
This paper deals with the integration of electrical resistivity tomography and geochemical methods for studying four different fire-prone landfills. Landfill gas composition (CH4, H2S, O2, CO, CO2) and subsurface temperature were measured with the constant net 50 × 50 m from the depth 10–60 cm.

Fire intensity drives post-fire temporal pattern of soil carbon accumulation in Australian fire-prone forests

Science of The Total Environment, 2018
The impact of fire on global C cycles is considerable but complex. Nevertheless, studies on patterns of soil C accumulation following fires of differing intensity over time are lacking. Our study utilised 15 locations last burnt by prescribed fire (inferred low intensity) and 18 locations last burnt by wildfire (inferred high intensity), with time ...
