In Florida, prescribed burns are carried out every three to five years in one of the national forests.These controlled burns keep the forest open and reduce the growth of problem species. We recognize that fire is a natural and revitalizing process that enhances the diversity of the forest.Howe...
The Florida Everglades are actively managing this species on the west coast of the park which is in a very remote area that can only be accessed aerially. Everglades National Park has been using controlled burns to manage native and non-native species alike in the park since 1958. In the ...
Our results suggested that both time-integrated thermocouple heating and its variability were greater in early growing season burns than in dormant season burns. These differences were noted even though fuel consumption did not vary by season of burn. The variability of litter consumption and woody ...
We hypothesized that the addition of light and nutrients resulting from prescribed burns in wetlands increases periphyton biomass and supports increased standing stock of marsh fishes. In the oligotrophic Everglades of Florida, USA, we conducted a 2 脳 2 factorial experiment using prescribed burns ...
Then we present examples of PM and ozone concentrations from prescribed burns in Florida and Georgia. The results show that how the smoke is distributed vertically in the atmosphere is critical to bringing the smoke management aspect of prescribed burning into regional scale air quality. The ...
Prescribed burning is used in Australia as a tool to manage fire risk and protect assets. A key challenge is deciding how to arrange the burns to generate ... V Florec,M Burton,D Pannell,... - 《International Journal of Wildland Fire》 被引量: 0发表: 2020年 The benefits of prescribe...
Fine-scale fuel and fire behavior variation in prescribed burns can have significant consequences for ecological effects. Shown here are two infrared thermographs of a prescribed fire in longleaf pine in northern Florida, USA, on 6 March, 2008. (A) represents the flaming phase and (B) represen...
Influence of long-term dormant-season burning and fire exclusion on ground-dwelling arthropod populations in longleaf pine flatwoods ecosystems Frequent dormant-season prescribed burns were applied at 1-, 2- and 4-year intervals to longleaf pine stands, Pinus palustris, for over 40 years on the...
Tree seedling abundance was estimated for the 25 plots sampled before and after the burns is 1995, 1996, and again in 2005 after the prescribed burn. Tree seedlings were counted in each 1.0 m2quadrat of the original plots and in the 3.0 m × 3.0 m subplots of the additional plots. Tree...
and documented wildlife activity in four study plots for 3 years after the implementation of annual winter prescribed burns. Prescribed burning reduced the amount of litter, increased bare ground during spring, and altered the plant community composition relative to areas that were not burned. Overall...
