Risk and liability concerns regarding fire affect people's attitudes toward fire and have led to human-induced alterations of fire regimes. This has, in turn, contributed to brush encroachment and degradation of many grasslands and savannas. Efforts to successfully restore such degraded ecosystems at the landscape scale in regions of the United States ...

Prescribed Burning for Regeneration
1991The character of most forest ecosystems in the southern U.S. has been shaped by fire. Indians and early settlers burned the woods for many purposes. After a period of trying to exclude fire, foresters recognized its value as an ecological force and its necessity as a management tool. This chapter describes the history of prescribed burning in the South,

Collembola Populations and Prescribed Burning
Environmental Entomology, 1975Collembola were collected over a period of 10 months on plots which were not burned (control), burned periodically (every 5 to 8 years), and burned annually. Significantly more Collembola were collected on the controls than on the annually burned plots.

Journal of Forestry, 1975
Abstract Prescribed burning is a preferred treatment in many fuel management situations because of its low cost, compatibility with other land-use objectives, and little or no undesirable side effects. The problems, limitation, and associated consequences of fire treatments are evaluated and compared with alternatives.

Encountering the burn: Prescribed burns as contact zones
Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space, 2019Encounters 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 ...

Journal of Forestry, 1947
Abstract Much of the controversy about prescribed burning, even where the need is greatest, concerns the practicability of getting the job done properly. Successful prescribed burning requires that the purpose of the burn be clearly defined and that the technique be such as to minimize the sum of costs and damages.

Prescribed Burning: Requiem or Renaissance?
Journal of Forestry, 1984Various perceptions of prescribed burning of woodlands are described. Most states prohibit setting fire to woodlands except under specific circumstances. Requirements for authorization to burn vary from state to state. The extent of restriction appears to be inversely proportional to amount of fire use, with little or not burning done in states having ...

Prescribed Burning as a Soil Amelioration Measure
2000In Finland, attention first turned to the possibilities of using prescribed burning to promote forest regeneration at the end of the last century after reports of rather satisfactory stand development in areas subjected to slash-and-burn agriculture and forest fires (Heikinheimo 1915).
