QUIC-fire: A fast-running simulation tool for prescribed fire planning
Environmental Modelling & Software, 2020 Abstract Coupled fire-atmospheric modeling tools are increasingly used to understand the complex and dynamic behavior of wildland fires. Multiple research tools linking combustion to fluid flow use Navier-Stokes numerical solutions coupled to a thermodynamic model to understand fire-atmospheric feedbacks, but these computational fluid dynamics ...

Prescribed Fire Smoke: A Review of Composition, Measurement Methods, and Analysis
FirePrescribed fire has become an increasingly important strategy for removing biomass from forests and mitigating the risk of severe wildfire. When considering where and to what extent prescribed fire should be applied, land resource managers must consider ...

Perceptions of Prescribed Fire Among Ranchers near Northern US National Grasslands
FireMany barriers prevent ranchers from supporting prescribed fire on grazing leases or their own land. Barriers include negative perceptions of fire resources limitations, and fear of liability.

First Approximations of Prescribed Fire Risks Relative to Other Management Techniques Used on Private Lands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Fire is widely recognized as a critical ecological and evolutionary driver that needs to be at the forefront of land management actions if conservation targets are to be met. However, the prevailing view is that prescribed fire is riskier than other land

, 2013 In the latest issue of Science (Oct 4th, 2013), there is a forum paper with some suggestion for the management of fires and forests in the face of changing climates [1]. Basically, the authors suggest that policy focused on fire suppression only delays the inevitable, promising more dangerous and destructive forests fires.

Quantifying carbon and species dynamics under different fire regimes in a southeastern U.S. pineland
Ecosphere, 2019 Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage. Climate change and anthropogenic forcing have altered the dominant characteristics of some forested ecosystems through changes to their disturbance regimes, particularly fire.
