Fire is a natural phenomenon in Madrean Province ecosystems. Suppression of natural fire has altered ecosystem processes, however. Recognition of these alterations has led to the adoption of let-burn policies by many management agencies, but a let-burn policy has become less…

The accuracy with which park managers can predict the behavior, spread, and effects of individual fires will be increasingly critical to decisions on when and where to burn. Models to predict fuel accumulation and consumption, fire spread, smoke production, and the effects of…

From the Introduction...'Fire management's integration into land management planning is critical to the successful management of nearly all wildland ecosystems, including westside forests, which lie west of the Cascade crest in Oregon and the northern coastal ranges in…

From the text...'Given the concerns presented over the relative lack of progress being made in restoring fire to anything close to presettlement frequencies, it is only natural to ask what can we expect in the future. Although it is impossible to read the crystal ball, it is…
