A speculative, phenomenological model is formulated for the time-varying intensity and spread rate of a free-burning fire under the influence of nonsteady wind. The model is linearized by approximations and explicit solutions derived for the amplitude response of spread rate and…

That the capacity of global models to predict the future can be well tested by their capacity to reconstruct past events is generally agreed, as is the definition of normal winter as the numerical equivalent of >5x103 degree-days (with the degrees in Fahrenheit). One-…

The relationship between daily total tons of forestry fuel consumed by prescribed burns in western Oregon and 24-hour average total suspended particulate (TSP) concentration in the Willamette Valley is examined. The relationship is statistically significant at the 95% level. A…

Data from three separate but related surveys address the linkages between recreation and public perception of attitudes toward fire management. Recreation ranks high among alternative forest resource uses and is a serious concern vis-a-vis fire effects. Public acceptance of new…

Publisher Summary: Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important component of temperate stream and forest ecosystems. This chapter reviews the rates at which CWD is added and removed from ecosystems, the biomass found in streams and forests, and many functions that CWD serves. CWD…
