This review summarizes the available literature relevant to British Columbia concerning the influences of harvesting and post-harvest practices upon the forest environment and resources, and points out significant gaps in knowledge where research would be useful. This will aid…

From the text...'Several important facets of any wilderness fire management program must be understood by everyone. First, there are risks involved--primarily the risk of fires escaping. We may not always be able to contain them within the mangement unit. Also, wilderness fire…

Prescribed fire has been used in managing our southern forest lands for over 50 years. However, burning forest fuels comes under the open burning regulations of the various states. These regulations and how they affect forest management are highlighted by three geographic areas…

Prescribed burning is a preferred treatment in many fuel management situations because of its low cost, campatibility with other land-use objectives, and little or not undesirable side effects. The problems, limitations, and associated consequences of fire treatments are…

Height of slash fire smoke columns, commonly thought to be a function of atmospheric conditions alone, through a series of 10-acre experimental fires is shown to be strongly related to fire intensity. By conducting intense fires, land managers can possibly burn forest debris and…

Animal exposure studied and large scale fire data indicate that one of the early life hazards in a developing fire is from the generation of carbon monoxide and other combustion gases. A gas chromatograph as been interfaced to an NBS Smoke Chamber to study the rate of generation…

[From the text] Fire has been an integral part of America's wildlands for millions of years. The only environments not experiencing fire as a significant ecological factor were those that remained very cold, very wet, or very dry, and even in these regions, extreme variation in…

From the text ... 'The smoke rising from a grass, brush or forest fire is primarily formed by the condensation of moisture and other vapors produced through pyrolysis and combustion. This smoke formation depends on the rate at which the surrounding air moves into the fire to…
