Seed burial in nylon mesh bags over a 2-year period was used to examine seed longevity patterns in 12 shrub and two graminoid species in fire-prone habitats around Sydney, south-eastern Australia. Most species released a large fraction of their annual seed-crop in a dormant…

Prescribed fire was tested as a potential tool for site preparation and for reducing fire hazard after clearcut logging in dark coniferous forests in Siberia. Experimental burns were conducted on 8 sites to evaluate the practicality of fire use and effects of prescribed fires on…

From the text...'To date, however, there has been limited documentation of field applications where smoke or charred wood have been used to increase the success of a planting. This makes it difficult to quantify the effectiveness of these methods as well as the species-specific…

Tropical forest conversion, shifting cultivation and clearing of secondary vegetation make significant contributions to global emissions of greenhouse gases today, and have the potential for large additional emissions in future decades. Globally, an estimated 3.1 x 109 t of…

Forest ecosystems are enormously important to mankind. They not only supply wood, foods, medicines, waxes, oils, gums, resins and tannins, but they also regulate climate, hydrology, mineral cycling, soil erosion, and cleansing of air and water. A variety of natural and human-…
