Microscopic charcoal fragments preserved in lake and swamp sediments with pollen and other microfossils provide evidence for past burning regimes. Some problems with the interpretation of charcoal records are similar to those of pollen analysis, but other factors must be taken…

The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) is using high intensity fire to perpetuate fresh-water marsh on Sanibel Island. Shrubs are invading the marsh because of the decreased hydroperiod. A policy of fire conclusion was followed until 1971 when a destructive wildfire…

Various studies report changes in phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations in surface waters after wildfires; however, we have found no reports which include nutrient data collected during actual wildfire activity. We had an opportunity to collect water chemistry data from several…

The effects of a late-summer prescribed burn on the chemistry of a second-order mountain stream in the south-western Cape, South Africa, were investigated. Nitrate concentrations in stream water were significantly higher during the winter of the post-burn year. Increased…
