From the text...'This conceptual guide, Land Management Considerations in Fire-Adapted Ecosystems, provides baseline information for addressing fire management considerations in the Information/Assessment Phase of land management planning. The fire-related considerations are: 1) Ecosystems are always changing. Fire is a major agent of change. 2) Fire suppression has a place in wildland management. 3) Fire exclusion has environmental and economic consequences. 4) Using prescribed fire to meet ecosystem objectives results in social tradeoffs. These considerations should set the foundation for the integration of fire, as an ecosystem process, into the development, implementation, and monitoring/evaluation phases of the land management planning process.'
