From the text...'Conclusions:..Our observations indicate that smoke alone will not necessarily drive spotted owls off their territories. Even fire in close proximity and very high levels of disturbance associated with fire-fighting failed to force the bullgrouse female to…

From the Abstract...'The park has been using prescribed fire to manage slash pine savannas since 1958 when it started the first prescribed fire program in the National Park Service, and it continues to be the primary resource management tool. Prescribed fire operations have…

ANNOTATION: Wildland fire has been an integral part of the landscape of the conterminous United States for millennia. Analysis of contemporary and pre-industrial (~ 200 - 500 yr BP) conditions, using potential natural vegetation, satellite imagery, and ecological fire regime…

We investigated long-term consequences of modified fire and climate regimes on ecosystems for a landscape in Glacier National Park, Montana, using the mechanistic forest successional model, Fire-BGC (a Fire BioGeoChemical succession model). Changes in various ecosystem…
