Data from three separate but related surveys address the linkages between recreation and public perception of attitudes toward fire management. Recreation ranks high among alternative forest resource uses and is a serious concern vis-a-vis fire effects. Public…

Recent research makes clear that much of the Everglade's flora and fauna have evolved to tolerate or require frequent fires. Nevertheless, restoration of the Everglades has thus far been conceptualized as primarily a water reallocation project. These two forces…

We investigated long-term consequences of modified fire and climate regimes on ecosystems for a landscape in Glacier National Park, Montana, using the mechanistic forest successional model, Fire-BGC (a Fire BioGeoChemical succession model). Changes in various ecosystem…
