Encountering the burn: Prescribed burns as contact zones [PDF]
Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space, 2019 Encounters with fire and landscapes that burn have the potential to be both disastrous and life-giving events. In Canadian national parks, where a century of fire suppression has ruled human encounters with fire adapted landscapes, fire managers and ecologists are eagerly returning fire to diverse ecosystems in the hopes of building healthier ...

Is Wildfire Suppression in Giant Sequoia Groves a Problem, a Solution, or Neither? [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIn 1910, the U.S. federal government began an official policy of suppressing wildfires. Decades later it became understood that the giant sequoia, the world's most massive tree, is serotinous and depends upon fire to effectively reproduce. For a century,
