Book Description
This study analyzes the number of forest fires in Saskatchewan, the area burned, the fire cycle, the fire season, causes of fires, potential fire intensity, and the fire climate for two types of ecological units: ecozones & ecoregions. Analyses are performed for all forested ecozones: the boreal plain, the boreal shield, & the taiga shield. For ecoregions, only those of the boreal plain were considered. The analysis is based on 20 years (1981-2000) of fire occurrence (ignition) data, a database of large (over 200 hectare) fires for 1945-2000, and 12 years (1990-2001) of daily fire weather observations. The results reveal contrasts in the fire regime of ecozones & ecoregions and illustrate important variations in the fire regime in both time & space.

Canadian Wildland Fire Strategy
Author: Peter L. Fuglem
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
"In September 2004, the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers established a federal, provincial, and territorial task group of assistant deputy ministers (ADMs) and commissioned the development of the Canadian Wildland Fire Strategy (CWFS). The ADMs created an intergovernmental team of analysts, experienced fire managers, and researchers, known as the CWFS Core Team, to consult with Canadian and international experts, collate information, conduct analyses, and present the findings. This team was directed to assess the current state of wildland fire management in Canada, examine the key influences and trends, and identify possible desired future states and how they could be achieved. This publication comprises a collection of nine reports written by the CWFS Core Team members and their associates. Collectively these papers include syntheses, analyses, and perspective articles that address a variety of the social, economic, and biophysical aspects of wildland fire and its management as well as policy, science, and operational issues in Canada."--Pub. desc.

Wildland Fire in Ecosystems
Weather Guide for the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System
Author: B. D. Lawson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fire risk assessment
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
This weather guide includes detailed specifications for locating and instrumenting fire weather stations, taking weather observations, and overwintering the Drought Code component of the FWI System. The sensitivity of the FWI System components to weather elements is represented quantitatively. The importance of weather that is not directly observable is discussed in the context of fuel moisture and fire behavior. Current developments in the observation and measurement of fire weather and the forecasting of fire danger are discussed, along with the implications for the reporting of fire weather of increasingly automated fire management information systems.

Forest Fire Size Distribution in North American Boreal Forests
Author: Wenbin Cui
Publisher: Sault Ste. Marie : Ontario Forest Research Institute
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
The goal of this report is to investigate and summarize the current knowledge about fire size distribution (FSD), with special reference to how resource professionals and researchers use FSD, and where the gaps in FSD knowledge are. The focus of this investigation, given Ontario's vantage point, was the North American boreal forest. First, the report examines factors necessary to understand FSD; second, it summarizes what is reported on FSD in scientific literature; third, it reviews the past research on FSD, focusing on methodologies and approaches; finally, it offers a summary of the state of knowledge on FSD, including knowledge gap.--Document.
