Liability and Prescribed Fire: Perception and Reality
Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2019Abstract Changing climate and fuel accumulation are increasing wildfire risks across the western United States. This has led to calls for fire management reform, including the systematic use of prescribed fire. Although use of prescribed fire by private landowners in the southern Great Plains has increased during the past 30 yr, studies have ...

Monitoring the Response of Butterfly Communities to Prescribed Fire
Environmental Management, 2000Federal land managers in the western United States are interested in the potential of prescribed fire as a tool to decrease fuel loads, increase vegetational heterogeneity, and increase faunal diversity in various ecosystems. I tested whether implementation of a prescribed fire program by the US Forest Service in a watershed in the central Great Basin ...

Development of large vortices on prescribed fires
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1990A detailed set of data has been compiled on large fire whirlwinds occurring on prescribed burns conducted in Ontario. There appear to be two types of such whirlwinds: one occurs in pairs on the leeward side of the convection column and the other is created after the entire convection column begins to rotate.

Whilst global burned area continues to decline, recent climate warming has led to an increase in the occurrence and intensity of extreme fires. Humanity must adapt to this new reality. Two proposed management options are a) prescribed livestock grazing, and b) prescribed fire use. Both methods promise cost-efficient means to reduce fire intensity, fire-

Fire suppression in the Southern Appalachians has led to changes in forests dominated by yellow pine (Pinus subgenus pinus) and oak (Quercus) species. Recently, management agencies have begun to prescribe fire with the aim of restoring pre-suppression conditions.

Prescribed fire: Tool and risk
2008Every year, thousands of hectares of forest burn in Europe and more precisely in the Mediterranean basin. For fire prevention, prescribed fire is a tool which is more and more used, in particular in France, within the framework of the Defence of the Forest against Fires. The operating staff is near to the fire during the prescribed fire.

An Integrating Device For Evaluating Prescribed Fires
Forest Science, 1966Abstract Measured loss of water from standard 1-gallon cans with friction lids has been used successfully to evaluate prescribed fires in the Intermountain West. Painted flat black, filled with 3 liters of water, and provided with a 1-centimeter vent hole, these cans are placed in areas to be burned.
