The frequency of forest fires during the past 600 yr was studied on 281 sample plots within boreal forest ecosystems in a river valley in northern Sweden. Fire scars in living and dead trees were used for dating past fires. Before fire suppression started in the 19th century the…

To trully allow fires to play their natural role in wilderness ecosystems, it is sometimes necessary to have large fires of long duration. Large fires are ecologically significant events that drive many other ecosystem processes. However, these fires pose significant management…
