The use of prescribed fire in the management of Canada's forested lands
Weber, Taylor
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…

Constructing and testing logistic regression models for binary data: applications to the National Fire Danger Rating System
Loftsgaarden, Andrews
Logistic regression was used in examining the relationship between National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) indexes and historical fire occurrence data. Basic techniques of constructing and testing logistic regression models are presented at a…

Soil mineral nitrogen changes following prescribed burning in ponderosa pine
Covington, Sackett
In a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) forest near Flagstaff, AZ, USA, there was a striking pattern in forest characteristics, consisting of substands of old-growth trees (28-120 cm diameter at breast height (bdh) and 200-500 years old) and of…

Predicted residues and fire behavior in small-stem lodgepole pine stands
Brown, Johnston
Fuel loading, fireline intensity, and expected fire size were determined after harvesting small-stem lodgepole pine stands. Curves relating predicted fireline intensity to slash fuel loading and windspeed are presented. Removing about 15 tons per…

Processes of understory seedling recruitment 1 year after prescribed fire in an Arizona ponderosa pine community
Vose, White
We monitored seed rain, buried seed germination, and vegetative reproduction to determine the processes of understory species seedling recruitment after prescribed fire in an Arizona ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) stand. Stands were burned with…

Effect of management on nutrient dynamics in south-western Pinyon juniper woodlands
DeBano, Klopatek
Pinyon and juniper trees cycle nutrients producing a mosaic nutrient distribution that is vulnerable to range improvements, grazing, and fuelwood harvesting activites. Prescribed fire releases small amounts of available nutrients, but also…
