Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Climate change is expected to increase fire risk in many forested regions, posing a potential threat to forest functioning (i.e. carbon pools and fluxes). At the same time, expansion of the wildland-urban interface threatens to bring more and more people,

Prescribed Fire — Its Place in Reforestation [PDF]
The Forestry Chronicle, 1970 Forest fires have played an important role in determining the type and composition of forest ecosystems in the temperate region of North America. The close association between fires and forest ecosystems has helped the resource manager to interpret the significance of fire in reforestation, which in turn has induced him to use burning for this ...

Endangered Species Research, 2013 Many endangered species rely on early successional habitats to complete parts of their life cycles. We examined whether prescribed fire can be used to aid in conservation of the endangered eastern massasauga rattlesnake Sistrurus catenatus catenatus Raf.

The Drivers of Effectiveness of Prescribed Fire Treatment [PDF]
Forest Science, 2012 Prescribed burning for fuel reduction is a major strategy for reducing the risk from unplanned fire. Although there are theoretical studies suggesting that prescribed fire has a strong negative influence on the subsequent area of unplanned fire (so-called leverage), many empirical studies find a more modest influence.

Prescribed fire in fire-prone landscapes: tickling the dragon's tail
, 2023 Abstract The important forest understory layer is where leaf and woody litters accumulate, decompose, and provide components that enhance soil fertility and future tree growth; where intact litter provides cover habitat for some faunal species; and where the food chains of some vertebrate wildlife species originate.
