This work was begun under the premise that prescribed burning in the pine-hardwood type was (1) a justifiable calculated risk: (2) would set back natural plant succession and leave the site in a condition favorable to regeneration and dominance by sub-climax plants such as pine; (3) the most economical tool to control plant succession when used in even-aged management and (4) would be acceptable to technicians and land managers if fire behavior, degree of control, and effectiveness could be predicted under certain conditions. © Society of American Foresters, Bethesda, MD.
