The purposes of this study are to: 1. provide burning prescriptions for hazard reduction; 2. determine if burning will improve planting-crew efficiency by reducing the physical barrier of slash accumulations; 3. evaluate the effect of burning on reversal of site deterioration by raising soil temperatures and generally encouraging activity of soil organisms. 4. investigate techniques and logistics of prescribed burning in this fuel type.
