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-

Attitudes Toward Prescribed Fire Policies
Journal of Forestry, 1990This article discusses the fire policy of several land management agencies and research done to assess public attitudes toward these policies. Biological information may provide support for a prescribed fire policy in areas managed with a preservation mandate, that alone is not sufficient justification for its implementation. Fire policy has a critical

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.

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.

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.
