Hartford, Frandsen
Fire effects on aplant community, soil, and air are not apparent when judged only by surface fire intensity. The fire severity or fire impact can be described by the temperatures reached within the forest floor and the duration of heating…

Present uses of prescribed fire in Canada are reviewed. Fire has been a natural component of many forested North American landscapes for millennia, making it an obvious choice as an effective forest management tool. It can be used in harmony with…

The primary goals of this paper were to experimentally assess the relative importance of fire, a potentially important selective agent involved in shaping scarlet gilia's compensatory response and, in general, determine scarlet gilia's response to…

Simulations were used to investigate the effect of season of fire on seedling emergence in Banksia ericifolia and B. serrata. The simulations were based on models of soil-surface moisture in response to rainfall, seedling emergence response to soil…

The northernmost jack pine populations in northern Quebec are located at the boreal forest - forest tundra boundary, along the Grande riviere de la Baleine, where they colonize the sandy terraces affected by recurrent fires. The reent fire history…

A post-fire successional study within Mesa Verde National Park surveys a 1200 hectare fire, which, in 1989, impacted 4 different vegetation types and included sites burned in 3 previous fires. Successional patterns (% cover of plant species) were…

FIREMAP is a simulation system designed to estimate wildfire characteristics in spatially non-uniform environments and simulate the growth of fire in discrete time steps. This simulation system integrates Rothermel's behavior prediction model (…
