Prescribed fire effects on sediment and nutrient exports in forested environments: A review.
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2020 This review examines the impact of prescribed fire on the water quality variables (a) sediment load and (b) limiting macronutrients in forested environments globally. We aim to characterize the forested environments subject to prescribed fire, to discuss

Selective Control of Rangeland Grasshoppers with Prescribed Fire [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2004 Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are considered among the most damaging rangeland pests, but are necessary for the survival of many wildlife species. Most grasshoppers species are innocuous, but control with insecticides is non-discriminatory among species.

Pixel-level statistical analyses of prescribed fire spread [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2019 Wildland fire dynamics are a complex three-dimensional turbulent process. Cellular automata (CA) is an efficient tool to predict fire dynamics, but the main parameters of the method are challenging to estimate. To overcome this challenge, we compute statistical distributions of the key parameters of a CA model using infrared images from controlled ...

Lined Snake (Tropidoclonion lineatum) Prescribed Fire Mortality
Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies, 2021 Functioning prairie ecosystems are characterized by periodic and cyclical disturbances (e.g., grazing, drought, fire, etc.). Grazing and fire were historically widespread drivers of habitat structure. Many native species are adapted to fire and rely on the diverse habitats it maintains in a range of successional states.
