Introduction to Prescribed Fire in Southern Ecosystems
Author: Thomas A. WaldropPublisher: Government Printing Office
ISBN: 9780160943959
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Prescribed burning is an important tool throughout Southern forests, grasslands, and croplands. The need to control fire became evident to allow forests to regenerate. This manual is intended to help resource managers to plan and execute prescribed burns in Southern forests and grasslands. A new appreciation and interest has developed in recent years for using prescribed fire in grasslands, especially hardwood forests, and on steep mountain slopes. Proper planning and execution of prescribed fires are necessary to reduce detrimental effects, such as the impacts on air and downstream water quality.

Author: Prescribed Burning in California Wildlands Vegetation Management
Author: Harold BiswellPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520219457
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Harold Biswell's decades of research and field experience were a major factor in developing policies of controlled or prescribed burning, which mimics or reintroduces the natural fire cycle. This comprehensive study introduces the principles and practices of prescribed burning, which apply far beyond California, within a historical and ecological perspective. Available for the first time in paperback, with a new foreword by James Agee, this book places Biswell's study—and his legacy—in the context of recent developments in the field.
Long-term Studies of Prescribed Burning in Loblolly Pine Forests of the Southeastern Coastal Plain
Author: A Guide for Prescribed Fire in Southern Forests
Author: First Order Fire Effects Model
Author: Elizabeth D. ReinhardtPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fire ecology
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
A First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM) was developed to predict the direct consequences of prescribed fire and wildfire. FOFEM computes duff and woody fuel consumption, smoke production, and fire-caused tree mortality for most forest and rangeland types in the United States. The model is available as a computer program for PC or Data General computer.
Fire Effects on Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs in the Oak Savannas of the Southwestern Borderlands

ISBN:
Category : Fire ecology
Languages : en
Pages : 15
Book Description
Much has been learned in recent years about the ecological, hydrologic, and environmental characteristics of the oak (encinal) woodlands of the Southwestern Borderlands. Comparable information for the lower-elevation oak savannas, including the impacts of fire on ecosystem resources, is also necessary to enhance the knowledge of the oak ecosystems in the region. Oak savannas are more open in stand structure than are the oak woodlands and, as a consequence, a higher level of herbaceous production might be expected in this ecosystem than in the oak woodlands. The effects of prescribed burning treatments and a wildfire on species compositions, production of grass and forb components, growth of shrubs, utilization of forage and browse plants by herbivores, and ecological diversity in a oak savanna are described in this paper.
