Experimental Prescribed Burn In Radiata Pine

Australian Forestry, 1968
SUMMARY A prescribed burn of low intensity was carried out in a 23-year-old plantation of radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don). The burn reduced the fine fuel from 3.6 to 2.6 tons per acre, and it was a satisfactory hazard-reduction measure. Infiltration rates were determined before and after the fire by applying artificial rainfall, at the rate of 80 ...

Prescribed burning in southwestern Australian forests

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2013
Prescribed burning is an important but often controversial fire‐management tool in fire‐prone regions of the world. Here, we explore the complex challenges of prescribing fire for multiple objectives in the eucalypt forests of southwestern Australia, which could be regarded as a model for temperate landscapes elsewhere. Prescribed fire has been used in

Prescribed Burn at Pine Bluff Arsenal

2003

Effects of Prescribed Burning on Hazel in Minnesota

Ecology, 1964
Single or repeated spring prescribed fires and single summer fires easily kill aerial stems of hazel (Corylus spp.). Although vigorous and abundant resprouting follows spring fires, resprouting is less vigorous after summer fire. Repeated summer fires destroy the ability of hazel to resprout by (1) exposing and destroying underground stem systems and ...
