(1)The behaviour of the August 1936 Galatea fire in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was reconstructed with respect to the rate of spread, frontal-fire intensity and fuel consumption, and illustrates that tree mortality, seed dispersal distance into the burn and…

From the text ... 'Wilderness management is important to a large segment of the public. The 1988 fires showed that clearly. It is also clear that fire is an integral part of the wilderness. Educating the public, based on solid research, will be an important component of…

Prescribed fire is used to treat roughly 5 percent (1,500,000 acres) of Florida*s wildland each year. Superimposed on this fire-maintained landscape is one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Much of this population increase is a result of immigration from…
