Baptism of Fire: Modeling the Effects of Prescribed Fire on Lyme Disease. [PDF]
Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol, 2022 Recently, tick-borne illnesses have been trending upward and are an increasing source of risk to people’s health in the United States. This is due to range expansion in tick habitats as a result of climate change. Thus, it is imperative to find a practical and cost-efficient way of managing tick populations.

Encountering Prescribed Fire: Characterizing the Intersection of Prescribed Fire and Wildfire in the CONUS. [PDF]
ACS EST AirPrescribed fire is applied across the United States as a fuel treatment to manage the impact of wildfires and restore ecosystems. While the recent application of prescribed fire has largely been confined to the southeastern US, the increase in catastrophic wildfires has accelerated the growth of prescribed fire more broadly.

Optimizing prescribed fire allocation for managing fire risk in central Catalonia [PDF]
Science of the Total Environment, 2018 We used spatial optimization to allocate and prioritize prescribed fire treatments in the fire-prone Bages County, central Catalonia (northeastern Spain). The goal of this study was to identify suitable strategic locations on forest lands for fuel treatments in order to: 1) disrupt major fire movements, 2) reduce ember emissions, and 3) reduce the ...

Prescribed Fire Effects on Dalmation Toadflax
Journal of Range Management, 2003 Prescribed fires are important for rangeland restoration and affect plant community composition and species interactions. Many rangeland plant communities have been, or are under the threat of noxious weed invasion, however there is little information on how fire effects weeds.

Pyric‐carnivory: Raptor use of prescribed fires [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 AbstractFire is a process that shaped and maintained most terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Changes in land use and patterns of human settlement have altered fire regimes and led to fire suppression resulting in numerous undesirable consequences spanning individual species and entire ecosystems.

Experimental Study on Reducing the Risk of Wildland Fires by Prescribed Fire [PDF]
Journal of the Korean Society of Hazard Mitigation, 2021 Many countries, such as the United States, Australia, and Japan, use prescribed fire to treat fuel in forests as their primary wildfire prevention and management tool. However, to date we have not applied such method in our country. Therefore, in this research, we investigate the current status and method of prescribed fire for application.

Selective Control of Rangeland Grasshoppers with Prescribed Fire [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2004 Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are considered among the most damaging rangeland pests, but are necessary for the survival of many wildlife species. Most grasshoppers species are innocuous, but control with insecticides is non-discriminatory among species.
