with a mean reduction of around 24% in RBR units. Fuel age (i.e., time since prescribed burning) in PB-wildfire intersection areas overwhelmed to a large extent the effect of fire weather, burning probability, and PB severity. The mitigating effect of PB on...

Pasture management intensity, livestock grazing and prescribed fire are three widespread agricultural practices that affect small, isolated wetlands, but few studies have investigated their individual and interactive effects. Pasture management intensity refers to the degree of human alteration of grassland, ...
Prescribed fireReptilesSouthernAppalachiansWe compared the effects of three fuel reduction techniques and a control on the relative abundance and richness of reptiles and amphibians using drift fence arrays with pitfall and funnel traps. Three replicate blocks were established at the Green River Game ...
For example, fuel treatment can slow fire spread [23], reduce fire intensity and severity [24,25], and potentially reduce fire sizes [26,27,28]. Fuel breaks created by treatments can also facilitate the establishment of fire control lines [9,29,30] and improve firefighter safety [31]. ...
