Weather conditions are among the most important elements to be considered in the planning and execution of a prescribed burn. Temperature and relative humidity have a direct effect on the moisture content of fuels. Together with wind they determine fire hazard and the ability of…

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-…

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…
