Fuel consumption and performance results of four mechanical harvesting systems were determined in burned and unburned sugarcane in Florida. Harvester fuel consumption per gross tonne of cane averaged 112% higher in unburned cnae than in burned cane. More important, cane recovery…

An introduction to the spatial and temporal diversity of fire is given for northern circumpolar ecosystems. Both physical and biological parameters make northern ecosystems different from those in temperate regions; these parameters, such as long day length through the summer…

Patterns of undisturbed nutrient cycling in northern ecosystems and the impact of fire on nutrient cycling are reviewed and discussed. The various effects of fire on ecosystem nutrient cycling may be broadly subdivided into (1) nutrient redistribution during fire, and (2)…

'Two studies were undertaken. An initial study in 1974 produced results that indicated significant losses of nitrogen and some other elements. The study was repeated 1981 as a check on the results of the 1974 burn, and to provide an assessment of the methods used in the first…

Wild and prescribed fires currently burn about 20,100 ha per year in Washington west of the Cascade Crest: prehistoric wildfires burned an estimated 19,200 ha per year. Modern burning consumes 38 g/m²/yr of fuel; the estimated prehistoric rate was 35 g/m²/yr over a 50-percent…
