Mapping fire history and quantifying burned area through 35 years of prescribed fire history at an Illinois tallgrass prairie restoration site using GIS

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Fire was important to pre‐colonization prairies. In today's remnant and reconstructed prairies, managers frequently employ prescribed fire, a historical management practice that limits woody encroachment, suppresses non‐native species and promotes ...

Modelling the potential for prescribed burning to mitigate carbon emissions from wildfires in fire-prone forests of Australia [PDF]

, 2012
Prescribed fire can potentially reduce carbon emissions from unplanned fires. This potential will differ among ecosystems owing to inherent differences in the efficacy of prescribed burning in reducing unplanned fire activity (or ‘leverage’, i.e.

Burning in banksia woodlands: How does the fire-free period influence reptile communities? [PDF]

, 2012
Fire is an important management tool for both hazard reduction burning and maintenance of biodiversity. The impact of time since last fire on fauna is an important factor to understand as land managers often aim for prescribed burning regimes with ...
