Prescribed fire: Tool and risk
, 2008 Every 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.

Analysis of smoke during prescribed fires
2006 First International Symposium on Environment Identities and Mediterranean Area, 2006This work consist in sampling and analyzing smoke released by typical Mediterranean vegetation during a fire. To proceed we used an experimental apparatus made of an air sampling pump with a cartridge filled with Tenaxreg TA. The sampling device was situated in a fixed place corresponding to the position of a fireman for the four studied stations ...

Modeling and Simulating Prescribed Fire Ignition Techniques
2021 Annual Modeling and Simulation Conference (ANNSIM), 2021Prescribed fire ignition techniques have significant impact on prescribed fires' growth behavior. This paper presents a systematic way of modeling and simulating prescribed fire ignition techniques. An ignition plan specification is developed to formally specify the ignition activities and schedules of prescribed burning events.

Prescribed Fire and Natural Disturbance
Science, 2004The recent coverage of our work on the relationship between fire history and an emerging forest epidemic called sudden oak death highlights landscape-level aspects of disease spread, which are often overlooked (“Fighting sudden oak death with fire?”, J. Withgott, News Focus, 20 Aug., p. [1101][1]).

Journal of Environmental Management, 2014
Risk and liability concerns regarding fire affect people's attitudes toward fire and have led to human-induced alterations of fire regimes. This has, in turn, contributed to brush encroachment and degradation of many grasslands and savannas. Efforts to successfully restore such degraded ecosystems at the landscape scale in regions of the United States ...

A micro-UAS to Start Prescribed Fires
2017Prescribed fires have many benefits, but existing ignition methods are dangerous, costly, or inefficient. This paper presents the design and evaluation of a micro-UAS that can start a prescribed fire from the air, while being operated from a safe distance and without the costs associated with aerial ignition from a manned aircraft.

Liability, Incentives, and Prescribed Fire for Ecosystem Management
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2004Prescribed fire is widely viewed as a useful but risky ecosystem management tool, and liability is a crucial issue for prescribed burning on private and public land. Basic liability rules motivate landowners to reduce risk when making choices about the use of fire.

Global Application of Prescribed Fire
2022Global Application of Prescribed Fire provides a first-hand perspective of the various methods and ways people around the world view and use prescribed fire. It covers the logistics, constraints and social dynamics surrounding the intentional use and application of fire by humans, and demonstrates how, why, when and where prescribed fire is used in ...

Effects of prescribed fires on soil properties: A review
Science of The Total Environment, 2018Soils constitute one of the most valuable resources on earth, especially because soil is renewable on human time scales. During the 20th century, a period marked by a widespread rural exodus and land abandonment, fire suppression policies were adopted facilitating the accumulation of fuel in forested areas, exacerbating the effects of wildfires ...

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 ...
