Prescribed burning for management of hawthorn and alder

A 1.3 hectare field containing hawthorn and alder was burned in April 1973. Post-burn analysis of 20 hawthorns and 20 alders determined the fire susceptibility of these species. Of those sampled, 80 percent of the trees less than 3 centimeters in basal diameter were killed. The…
