Approximately 1.85 million acres of commercial timberland in large private and Federal holdings were prescription burned in the South during 1975. At least an additional 298,000 acres of wild land were burned for wildlife habitat and range improvement. Thus, in excess of 2.15…

Wetlands dominated by flora of the Gramineae and Cyperaceae, such as fens and sedge meadows, have been shown to be fire dependent or fire related in their natural history as well as their community composition and structure. Prescribed burning is therefore a useful and often…

[Annotation copied from Lynham et al. 2002(https://www.frames.gov/rcs/18000/18093.html)] Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) is an economically important Canadian tree species and its autecology is inextricably linked to fire. It would disappear as a natural component of the boreal…
