At the smaller plot scale, the extent of the burn was influenced by the neighbourhood burn patterns, the distance the plot was from the nearest drainage line, the time since the last fire and the percentage of the plot that was burnt in the last fire. Under operational conditions, sites ...
In this study, prescribed burning (i.e., burn every 3 years in spring over 7 years) was applied to shift the plant community composition toward a native-dominated prairie, which was expected to support target native butterfly assemblages. The results of this study showed a positive effect of...
burn probability (BP), fire weather, and topographic texture as putative drivers of wildfire severity in PB treatments. The same variables, except PB severity and fuel age, were considered as potential drivers of wildfire severity in the surrounding untreated vegetation. Fuel age and severity of pr...
Several states in the southern and midwestern regions had a relatively continuous distribution of prescribed burn sizes (Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas). In contrast, other states had fewer fires closer to the maximum and minimum values found in...
namely its degree of understory consumption upon burn, and to search for correlations between the degree of shrub consumption to the composition of emitted pyrolysis gases. Data were collected in situ at seven small experimental prescribed burns at Ft. Jackson, an army base in South Carolina, USA...
Here, we quantify both historical shifts as well as projected future changes in burn windows favorable for prescribed fire. We find that ~2 °C of global warming will decrease the overall number of days per year conducive to prescribed burning by −1% to −29% (−0.5 to −16.6 da...
Prescribed burn is a management tool that influences the physical structure and composition of forest plant communities and their associated microorganisms... Kapoor, Beant,Onufrak, Aaron,Klingeman III, William,... - PeerJ 被引量: 0发表: 2023年 ...
Simulations identified the nature of the relationships between the prescribed burn treatment level and the fire size distributions, the mean incidence, and the mean annual areas burnt by unplanned fires, with all three parameters declining with increases in treatment level. The study also indicated ...
Three months post-burn, total fuel loads averaged 5 t ha–1, recovering after 4.5 years to 75% of pre-burn levels across all thinning treatments owing mostly to dense understorey regeneration. Where no burning occurred after thinning, total fuel loads declined to be comparable to the ...
Required knowledge of fire behavior used in prescribed burning often deviates from wildfires in that (1) prescribed fires are usually planned for a pre-defined burn unit and ecosystem; (2) the presence of multiple interacting firelines is nearly always critical to achieve objectives; and (3) man...
