Prescribed Burning Reduces Large, High-Intensity Wildfires and Emissions in the Brazilian Savanna

Fire, 2021
Brazil has recently (2014) changed from a zero-fire policy to an Integrated Fire Management (IFM) program with the active use of prescribed burning (PB) in federal Protected Areas (PA) and Indigenous Territories (IT) of the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado ...
