This photo-series was designed to present photographs and a detailed inventory of fuels for important stands in the Boreal and Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Forest Regions of Ontario. Over the last 20 years, an experimental burning program conducted by…

High seedling emergence of the exotic Lehmann lovegrass (Eragrostis lehmanniana) after burning is due mainly to removal of the overstory grass canopy. Canopy removal increases germinability and emergence by changing the light and temperature…

Recreation is of increasing importance in forest environments. Fire has both short-term effects, trail closures, smoke impacts; and long-term effects, residual 'scars,' potential hazards, on forest recreation. The general public is gaining…

Historically, prescribed fire has been used as a management tool primarily to create habitat diversity in all upper elevation (>5,000-ft) vegetation types. Research is needed on the feasibility of using this tool in riparian-stream areas and in…

Plants grown in soils burned when dry had lower VAM colonization than soils burned when wet. Juniper soils demonstrated the greatest reduction (>95%). Plants grown in interspace soils burned when wet were least effected. Unburned control soils…

Mean annual streamflow for the 6 years following burning did not increase significantly over pretreatment levels. Water quality changes were evaluated by comparing prefire and postfire levels of nitrate-nitrogen, ammonium-nitrogen, phosphates,…

A ponderosa pine stand infected with dwarf mistletoe was prescribed burned in Grand Canyon National Park. The degree of dwarf mistletoe infection positively influenced the degree of crown scorch. Amount of scorch was the dominant factor in first-…

Fire, either as a natural occurrence or a management tool, can have beneficial effects on the environment, and its use offers opportunities for reducing fuel loads, disposing of slash, preparing seedbeds, thinning stands, increasing herbaceous plant…

A prescribed fire was set to consume three-fourths of the forest floor depth in a ponderosa pine forest. Evaluations of the effects of the prescribed fire were made 1 month, and 1, 2, 11, and 24 years after the fire. The objective of the fire was…

Prescribed burns usually have minimal hydrologic impact on watersheds because the surface vegetation, litter, and forest floor is only partially burned. Wildfire can, however, have a pronounced effect on basic hydrologic processes, leading to the…
