From the Conclusion: 'This analysis has presented a methodology for calculating values-at-risk, arguing that a market approach to assessing value is the most objective approach. Some resources are classified as 'intangible,' thus precluding a market-derived evaluation. These…

In a year of catastrophic wildland fires across the country, Alaska once again had the dubious honor of being host to the nation's largest wildland fire.

A method is proposed for estimating the weight of fuel burned (available fuel) by prescribed fires in southern pine stands. Weights of available fuel in litter alone and in litter plus understory materials can be estimated. Prediction equations were developed by regression…

Logging slash on 73 clearcuts in the western larch/Douglas-fir forest of western Montana was broadcast burned over a wide range of environmental conditions. A broad array of fire intensities and effects was achieved. A severe wildfire was also evaluated and compared to the…
