Does Prescribed Fire Benefit Wetland Vegetation?

Wetlands, 2011
The effects of fire on wetland vegetation in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States are poorly known, despite the historical use of fire by federal, state, and private landowners in the Chesapeake Bay Region. Prescribed fire is widely used by land managers to promote vegetation that is beneficial to migratory waterfowl, muskrats, and other native

Prescribed Fire: Public Education and Perception

Journal of Forestry, 1984
Abstract A sample drawn from the population of Tucson, Arizona, rated slides of forest scenes for scenic quality and acceptability for recreation. The scenes showed ponderosa pine areas that were unburned or had had light or severe fire 1 to 5 years previously.

Liability, Incentives, and Prescribed Fire for Ecosystem Management

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2004
Prescribed 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.

Thermocouple Probe Orientation Affects Prescribed Fire Behavior Estimation

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2018
Understanding the relationship between fire intensity and fuel mass is essential information for scientists and forest managers seeking to manage forests using prescribed fires. Peak burning temperature, duration of heating, and area under the temperature profile are fire behavior metrics obtained from thermocouple‐datalogger assemblies used to ...

Development of large vortices on prescribed fires

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1990
A 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.

Liability and Prescribed Fire: Perception and Reality

Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2019
Abstract 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 ...

PRESCRIBED FIRE: LIABILITY, REGULATION, AND ENDOGENOUS RISK

2002
This paper compares the incentive effects of strict liability and negligence rules when timing of activity affects environmental risk. The model is developed in the context of prescribed fire as a land management input, with an extension to the related problem of wildfire risk mitigation through vegetation management.

Count Data Models of Prescribed Fire Escapes

2006
We specify several count data models, parameterizing the probability densities in terms of their means for easier comparison between models. In addition, we derived a correction of these probability densities for differences in sample sizes, which is a contribution to the count data literature as far as we are aware. We then empirically implement these

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.
