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…

The present-day northern Rocky Mountain vegetation is the product of a long history of geologic and climatic events that have interacted with the species populations composing the regional flora. General concepts relating to the organization, classification, and dynamic nature…

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…
