A probabilistic model is offered for tracing the fate of vegetation communities in fire-prone lands that are subjected to regular fuel reduction burning. The model is based on the semi-Markov process (an extension of Markov chain modelling). The…

Forest Service expenditures for fire presuppression and suppression activities increased from $61 million in FY 1970 to $951 million in FY 1994. Yet, real (net of inflation) expenditures have not increased significantly since FY 1970, if FY 1994…

Issues related to forest health and the threat of larger, more destructive wildfires have led to major new initiatives to restructure and recompose forest communities in the western United States. Proposed solutions will depend, in part, on…

Calibration and testing of a computer simulation of the burning of large woody natural fuels has been presented previously in this journal. This note describes an improved calibration of the model for better prediction of fuel loading reductions.…

The effect of repeated prescribed burning on long term growth of Pinus ponderosa in northern Arizona was examined. Fire treatments for hazard reduction were initiated in 1976, acid growth was evaluated in 1988 for fire rotations of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8,…

Economically sound decisions on fuel treatment require knowledge of treatment costs. Fuel treatment costs derived using an economic cost concept on two National Forests were found to be higher than reported by accounting methods. Costs are…

Soil inorganic nitrogen was measured during the summer after a fall prescribed burn at a ponderosa pine site in northern Arizona. Fire behavior varied among sawtimber, pole, and sapling stands; the greatest fuel reduction occurred in the sawtimber.…
