THE USE OF PRESCRIBED BURNS IN THE SOUTHERN WISCONSIN PRAIRIE-FOREST AREA: Managing for prairiesPrairie is defined as an open area covered by low-growing plants, dominated by grasslike sp. of which at least one-half are true grasses, and with less than one mature tree per acre (Curtis JT...
The degree to which fuels are consumed and then reaccumulate is commonly used to assess the immediate and longer-term effectiveness of PB and will be reflected in modified fire behavior during wildfire reburns, decreasing wildfire extent passively or actively, i.e., through facilitated wildfire sup...
For this study, we compared prescribed burns conducted in the dormant and early growing seasons in the southern Appalachian Mountains to evaluate how burn outcomes may be affected by environmental factors related to season of burn. The early growing season was defined as the narrow phenological ...

In the post-mortems that have occurred since the Orroral Valley fire, ACT Parks and Conservation fire managers found that the severity of the fire was slowed in areas where prescribed burns took place. “What we had over summer was the massive availability of fuel as opposed to massive amount...
Grunewald explained that Units 1 and 2 need additional work. Units 3 – 5, for the most part, have been completed. The goal this year is to continue thinning the units and conduct prescribed burns. The Mill Creek Hotshots perform a lot of that work, in addition to fire suppression. ...
in 2018 on small areas. At this early stage of restoration, the complexly intertwined mosaic has not yet become established and recently burnt patches represent isolated stands of pioneer vegetation within the mature heath matrix. Thus, we can question whether at this scale prescribed burns disturb...
in fire behavior and soil heating during the prescribed burns. Shrubland sites were further divided based on mechanical cutting: woody fuels were either left standing, cut and left on site (Fig.2b), or cut and removed. A subset of grasslands (n = 4) and pine woodlands (n = 4...
negative effects of prescribed fire or cancellation of planned prescribed burns when conditions were in fact appropriate for meeting management objectives (Reid et al.2012). Wildland fire science has not met the needs of prescribed fire practitioners faced with increasingly complex decisions. Consequently...
We conclude that early growing season burns may offer a viable option for furthering the pace and scale of prescribed fire to achieve management objectives.A pesar del uso generalizado de las quemas prescriptas a través de muchas zonas del sureste de los EEUU, las consideraciones temporales ...
