A model for solving the prescribed burn planning problem [PDF]

SpringerPlus, 2015
The increasing frequency of destructive wildfires, with a consequent loss of life and property, has led to fire and land management agencies initiating extensive fuel management programs. This involves long-term planning of fuel reduction activities such as prescribed burning or mechanical clearing. In this paper, we propose a mixed integer programming

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

Grazing in California's Mediterranean Multi-Firescapes

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
The California landscape is layered and multifunctional, both historically and spatially. Currently, wildfire size, frequency, and intensity are without precedent, at great cost to human health, property, and lives.

To Burn or Not to Burn: Ecological Restoration, Liability Concerns, and the Role of Prescribed Burning Associations [PDF]

Rangelands, 2012
F ire suppression in ecosystems that have evolved in the presence of fire, together with the occurrence of other natural and anthropogenic processes, has resulted in the conversion of many grasslands and savannas to woodlands. From an ecological perspective, eliminating fire in areas that evolved with fire inhibits natural processes that limit woody ...

Impacts of prescribed burning on urban forest soil: Minor changes in net greenhouse gas emissions despite evident alterations of microbial community structures

, 2021
Knowledge of the impacts of prescribed burning on ecosystem functions could help to improve forest management practices. However, relative to forest safety and aesthetic values, changes in soil properties and processes after prescribed burning are not ...

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Detecting and measuring the impacts of upland prescribed burning on air quality [PDF]

Upland burning for grouse shooting has long been a contentious land management practice in the UK, with growing evidence on its negative impacts to ecosystem services such as carbon storage, natural flood management and biodiversity.
