Fire is a natural phenomenon in Madrean Province ecosystems. Suppression of natural fire has altered ecosystem processes, however. Recognition of these alterations has led to the adoption of let-burn policies by many management agencies, but a let-burn policy has become less…

The accuracy with which park managers can predict the behavior, spread, and effects of individual fires will be increasingly critical to decisions on when and where to burn. Models to predict fuel accumulation and consumption, fire spread, smoke production, and the effects of…
