Prescribed fire management

Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health, 2021
Fire plays a role in the vast majority of terrestrial ecosystems. Researchers have discovered that the negative effects of prescribed fire on soil, water and vegetation are transitory, and that benefits are much greater.

Tamm review: The effects of prescribed fire on wildfire regimes and impacts: A framework for comparison

Forest Ecology and Management, 2020
Prescribed fire can result in significant benefits to ecosystems and society. Examples include improved wildlife habitat, enhanced biodiversity, reduced threat of destructive wildfire, and enhanced ecosystem resilience. Prescribed fire can also come with

Estimating prescribed fire impacts and post-fire tree survival in eucalyptus forests of Western Australia with L-band SAR data

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2019
Prescribed burning is a technique commonly applied to reduce fire risk. Fire is introduced under specific environmental conditions, with explicit duration, intensity and rate of spread.

Prescribed fire impacts on soil properties, overland flow and sediment transport in a Mediterranean forest: A 5 year study.

Science of the Total Environment, 2018
Prescribed fire is a common management practice in Mediterranean region to reduce the amount of fuel and to decrease the wildfire risk. The objective of this study is to assess the effect of a prescribed fire on some soil properties, hydrological ...

Liability and Prescribed Fire: Perception and Reality

Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2019
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.

Pyrosilviculture: Combining prescribed fire with gap-based silviculture in mixed-conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2021
We used a prescribed fire study to demonstrate the concept of pyrosilviculture, defined here as (i) using prescribed fire to meet management objectives or (ii) altering nonfire silvicultural treatments explicitly in order to optimize the incorporation of

Effects of prescribed fire frequency on wildfire emissions and carbon sequestration in a fire adapted ecosystem using a comprehensive carbon model.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2021
Prescribed fire to reduce forest fuels has been routinely applied to reduce wildfire risk in many parts of the world. It has also been proposed that prescribed fire can be used to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Prescribed fire and fire suppression operations influence wildfire severity under severe weather in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California, USA

International journal of wildland fire, 2021
Fuels treatments and fire suppression operations during a fire are the two management influences on wildfire severity, yet their influence is rarely quantified in landscape-scale analyses.

Analysis of smoke during prescribed fires

2006 First International Symposium on Environment Identities and Mediterranean Area, 2006
This 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 ...

Prescribed Fire and Natural Disturbance

Science, 2004
The 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]).
