From introduction: 'Research on fire is often of an applied nature, addressing questions of how to manage landscapes for fire, how to determine fire danger, how to model fire behavior, fire impacts and post-fire succession (Martell 2001; Chuvieco 2003). This in part reflects the…

Management of pine flatwoods on the southeastern coastal plain often involves the use of prescribed fire to limit encroachment of shrubs and trees, but fire also serves an important ecological role in these forests, as much of the native vegetation is fire dependent. However,…

Fire has been a significant ecosystem process in the Southeast for thousands of years. It kept slash pine in the wetter parts of the flatwoods pine forests historically. Today, when slash pine covers a much larger landscape, fire still plays an integral role in its management.…

A screening-level assessment of the health risks of chronic smoke exposure for wildland firefighters
A screening health risk assessment was performed to assess the upper-bound risks of cancer and noncancer adverse health effects among wildland firefighters performing wildfire suppression and prescribed burn management. Of the hundreds of chemicals in wildland fire smoke, we…
