Characterization of Phenolic Compounds in Pinus laricio Needles and Their Responses to Prescribed Burnings

Molecules, 2007
Fire is a dominant ecological factor in Mediterranean-type ecosystems. Management strategies include prescribed (controlled) burning, which has been used in the management of several species, such as Pinus nigra ssp laricio var. Corsicana, a pine endemic

Impact of prescribed burning on blanket peat hydrology [PDF]

, 2015
Fire is known to impact soil properties and hydrological flowpaths. However, the impact of prescribed vegetation burning on blanket peatland hydrology is poorly understood. We studied ten blanket peat headwater catchments. Five were subject to prescribed
