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.

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. The author summarizes

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 ...

Experimental Prescribed Burn In Radiata Pine
Australian Forestry, 1968SUMMARY 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, 2013Prescribed 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
2003Abstract : Fire is an important ecological process in the southern United States. Many animal and plant species evolved in the presence of fire, and many vegetation types thrive best in the presence of fire. Fire-dependent biota are declining because of fire suppression and landscape-scale changes.

A Gardener's Approach : Prescribed Burn Edition
2021The Okanagan-Similkameen is a landscape of complex and often conflicting cultural identities and practices. Historically, the introduction of one group of people has meant the displacement of another. First pitched in 2002 and now close to realization, the arrival of a National Park Reserve is contested for being yet another erasure of the locals ...
