Prescribed fire and wildfire in the Western US have long been critical ecological processes used by humans, specifically Native Americans, to manage the plant species, insects, and diseases present in a landscape. However, policies of fire suppression have led to a decrease in…

Background: An important consequence of wildland fire is the production of ash, defined as a continuum of mineral to charred organic residues formed by the burning of wildland fuels. Ash may impact soil health depending on its elemental composition and other factors, which are…

As early as 1890, thoughtful persons had observed and pointed out that controlled fire might have a place and was possibly necessary in the silviculture of longleaf pine. Dr. Roland Harper, a botonist, proposed its use for understory hardwood control from 1911 to urge the use of…
