The state forestry agencies in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas experience the same problems in training, program delivery and smoke management. Enforcement and coordination with federal, state and private landowners becomes increasingly important as smoke management comes under…

In 1983 the most severe fire in Victorian mountain forests for over forty years killed extensive areas of highly productive eucalypt forest, requiring a large scale timber salvage and forest rehabilitation program. The scheduling of these programs was dependent upon a rapid and…
