Landscape fire simulation and fuel treatment optimization [Chapter 9]
Finney
Fuel teatment effects on the growth and behavior of large wildland fires depend on the spatial arrangements of individual treatment units. Evidence of this is found in burn patterns of wildland fires. During planning stages, fire simulation is most…

The effects of humans and topography on wildland fire, forests, and species abundance
Guyette, Dey
Ignitions, fuels, topography, and climate interact through time to create temporal and spatial differences in the frequency of fire, which, in turn, affects ecosystem structure and function. In many ecosystems non-human ignitions are overwhelmed by…

Thinking about oak forests as responsive ecosystems
Johnson
Like all forests, oak forests are continually responding to disturbances originating from both within and outside the forest. Oaks (Quercus spp.) owe their very existence to disturbance. In this context, silvicultural and other management practices…

Impacts of fire and elk herbivory in the montane ecoregion of Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada
Amiro, de Groot, Bothwell, Westhaver, Achuff
Complex interactions exist among ungulates, predators, humans, and vegetation in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. Fire and herbivory are key parts of the interactions among these ecosystem components. Significant increases in human use,…

Applying geographic information systems and remote sensing to forest fire monitoring, mapping, and modeling in Canada
Englefield, Lee, Fraser, Landry, Hall, Lynham, Cihlar, Li, Jin, Ahern
The Fire Monitoring, Mapping and Modelling System (Fire M3) is an initiative of the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) and the Canadian Forest Service (CFS), both agencies of Natural Resources Canada. The goals of Fire M3 are to use low-…

What the International Crown Fire Modeling Experiment has meant to Northwest Territories fire management and its people [abstract]
Lanoville
The International Crown Fire Modelling Experiment (ICFME) provided fire research scientists an outdoor laboratory to test a theoretical, physical-based fire model and to conduct a wide variety of concurrent experiments. The crown fire experiments,…

Flame temperature and wind speed measurements during experimental crown fires [abstract]
Wotton, Mason, Hartley, Stefner
Wind speed and direction measurements took place around the perimeter of each of the main experimental fires of the International Crown Fire Modelling Experiment, Northwest Territories. Wind was measured at 2-m, 5-m, and 10-m heights at distances of…

The International Crown Fire Modeling Experiment fuel treatment trials [abstract]
Alexander, Lanoville
Several fuel treatment demonstration trials or case studies were carried out as part of the International Crown Fire Modelling Experiment (ICFME), Northwest Territories: 1) demonstrating the value of fully leafed-out trembling aspen (Populus…
