This paper's title - "Can we restore the fire process? What awaits us if we don't?" - represents an ecologist's view of the world. I submit that this view is unrealistic. The first clause uses the term "restore" which implies reestablishing the fire process of the past. The…

Stand replacement prescribed burning has been applied in Alaska on several occasions. Based on that experience, perspectives can be provided, issues can be discussed, and keys to success can be identified that are applicable to stand replacement prescribed burning activities in…

Forest management planning models are highly developed and used extensively, but few explicitly consider the effects of fire and other uncertain losses which can be significant. Previous studies recommended contradictory responses to potential fire loss. We developed forest-…
