From the Summary ... 'Prescribed surface fire in southern pine forests controls brown spot (Scirrhia acicola) of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) and fusiform rust (Cronartium fusiforme) of southern pines. Rhizina root rot and many wood rots are favored by fire. Additional…

The control of wildfires in forested areas may not always be a desirable objective since certain benefits can result that are important enough to warrant prescribed burning in some cases. Included in these benefits is the control of harmful insects and plant diseases and of…

The development of the smoke cloud from a summer wildfire in a forest area was studied on a radar screen. In conjunction with photographs taken at the same time, it has been possible to follow the variations in height of both the top and bottom of the smoke column as it was…

Although bush fires have been common in Australia for many thousands of years (cf. for example, Bermingham, Packham, and Vines, 1971) little is known about the smoke they produce. However, if the practice of prescribed burning - already employed as a routine method of reducing…
