Wilderness Management and the Restoration of Fire

ISBN:
Category : Prescribed burning
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Our recognition of the ecological importance of fire has increased to the point where the operative question is no longer Should we have fire on our public lands? but How should we restore fire as an essential ecosystem process?. This white paper places the restoration of fire in the context of the 1964 Wilderness Act, and then examines the implementation of federal fire law and policy in five Wilderness Areas (WAs) in northern Arizona dominated by ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) ecosystems. The analysis of these WAs reveals that while the three federal agencies involved in the study (Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and National Park Service) share similar fire legislation and policies, implementation varies from agency to agency. Although initiated in northern Arizona, the implications of this study span wilderness ecosystems throughout the United States and suggest the need for a comprehensive national Wilderness fire policy.
Issues in Evaluating the Costs and Benefits of Fuel Treatments to Reduce Wildfire in the Nation's Forests

Book Description
Years of fire suppression and increasing constraints on natural and prescribed burning, possibly along with climate change, have altered historical wildfire regimes resulting in increased wildfire severity in the Nation's forests. The growing wildfire threat has motivated increasing interest in reducing hazardous fuels through prescribed burning, thinning, and harvesting. There is debate about whether such fuel treatments are necessary owing to the complexity of the wildfire issue and to general disagreement about whether long-term wildfire impacts present a real problem. This report presents one way of conceptualizing the costs and benefits of fuel treatments and wildfire and reviews issues related to their evaluation. Illustrations. This is a print on demand report.
