Does Prescribed Fire Benefit Wetland Vegetation?
Wetlands, 2011The 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, 1984Abstract 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, 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.

Thermocouple Probe Orientation Affects Prescribed Fire Behavior Estimation
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2018Understanding 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, 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.
