Description

Focusing on ponderosa pine ecosystems, meta-analysis of 20 individual studies of the effects of prescribed fire on ground fuel-load reduction. Examines the procedures, strengths, and weaknesses of meta-analysis as a technique for quantifying and analyzing fire ecology research. The results for the meta-analysis on fuel reduction are presented along with an examination of the methodology and supplemental appendices for technical use.
