Alexander, Quintilio
This paper offers some insights into the field approach to conducting experimental forest fires based on two decades of experience dealing with a wide variety of fuel types, burning conditions, and resultant fire behavior. The practical aspects…

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…

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…
