Forests represent a major source of carbon storage, drive numerous ecosystem processes, and have huge economic and social importance. Wildland and prescribed fires burn millions of forested acres annually, making accurate prediction of post-fire…

Short-term exposures to ambient particulate matter (PM) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality in the exposed population, and these same patterns have been noted during wildland fire episodes. Since the scale and frequency of…

Native and non-native annual and perennial grasses and forbs comprise a majority of the flammable fuel-bed material in southwestern desert ecosystems. Variation in seasonal and annual precipitation mediates plant production cycles which periodically…

It has been over 20 years since the last major book on the ecology and management of fire was published that contained extensive information from non-forested ecosystems across western North America (Wright and Bailey 1982). During subsequent years…
