Ecology and Evolution
In 1910, the U.S. federal government began an official policy of suppressing wildfires. Decades later it became understood that the giant sequoia, the world's most massive tree, is serotinous and depends upon fire to effectively reproduce. For a century,

Remote Sensing in Rangeland Fire Ecology: Comparing Imagery to Measured Fire Behavior and Burn Severity Across Prescribed Burns and Wildfires

Fire
Wildland fire scientists have made substantial advances in measuring fire behavior, but properly collecting data is often beyond the capacity of prescribed fire managers and by definition all but impossible for wildfire events.
