This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Factors Determining Post-wildfire Plant Community Recovery Trajectories in Central Texas written by Emily Mary Booth and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildland fires are becoming more frequent and more severe in the United States, due in part to climate change and in part to long-term fire suppression and the subsequent build-up of fuels. Following wildfires of greater severity than what were historically present in an area, plant community recovery trajectories may diverge from the pre-disturbance plant community. The Lost Pines region of central Texas supported the westernmost stands of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) in the United States. In 2011, a wildfire burned most of Bastrop State Park (BSP), located in the Lost Pines. Pre-fire, BSP was a mostly closed-canopy forest dominated by loblolly pine and several species of oak (Quercus spp.), with sparse herbaceous vegetation and a dense mid-canopy of yaupon (Ilex vomitoria). Most plants in BSP were either killed or top-killed in the wildfire. We studied pre- and post-fire plant community dynamics to understand and predict post-fire plant community recovery trajectories. Top-killed oak species sprouted vigorously in more severely-burned plots (Chapter 1, Chapter 2); yaupon sprouted in all burn severity classes (Chapter 3). Loblolly pine, which can only recruit from seed, established more slowly than sprouting species, in part due to the transitory inhibitory effect of an erosion control product (Chapter 3). In the first year after the fire, it appeared that oak sprouts might out-compete loblolly pine seedling recruitment. However, in 2015, a large loblolly pine recruitment event occurred following a year of unusually high precipitation (Chapter 1, Chapter 2). These results indicate recovery trajectories towards continued survival of the loblolly pine population in BSP, although with a potentially greater abundance of oak species than what was present pre-fire. Furthermore, yaupon is likely to re-form dense thickets such as those present pre-fire without measures to prevent woody plant encroachment. Immediately post-fire, the herbaceous plant community increased in abundance, richness and diversity, likely due to greater canopy openness (Chapter 4). Very few invasive species were present either pre- or post-fire (Chapter 5). Alternate trajectories towards open-canopy savanna with a diverse understory community and lower mid-story tree abundance could be maintained by management actions such as prescribed fire or mechanical thinning.

Download or read book Weather Guide for the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System written by B. D. Lawson and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Even before the myth of Prometheus, fire played a crucial ecological role around the world. Numerous plant communities depend on fire to generate species diversity in both time and space. Without fire such ecosystems would become sterile monocultures. Recent efforts to prohibit fire in fire dependent communities have contributed to more intense and more damaging fires. For these reasons, foresters, ecologists, land managers, geographers, and environmental scientists are interested in the behavior and ecological effects of fires. This book will be the first to focus on the chemistry and physics of fire as it relates to the ways in which fire behaves and the impacts it has on ecosystem function. Leading international contributors have been recruited by the editors to prepare a didactic text/reference that will appeal to both advanced students and practicing professionals.

Book excerpt: Although ecosystems, humans, and fire have coexisted for millennia, changes in geology, ecology, hydrology, and climate as well as sociocultural, regulatory, and economic factors have converged to make wildland fire management exceptionally challenging for U.S. federal, state, and local authorities. Given the mounting, unsustainable costs and difficulty translating existing wildland fire science into policy, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine organized a 1-day workshop to focus on how a century of wildland fire research can contribute to improving wildland fire management. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Download or read book Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options written by James M. Vose and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest land managers face the challenges of preparing their forests for the impacts of climate change. However, climate change adds a new dimension to the task of developing and testing science-based management options to deal with the effects of stressors on forest ecosystems in the southern United States. The large spatial scale and complex interactions make traditional experimental approaches difficult. Yet, the current progression of climate change science offers new insights from recent syntheses, models, and experiments, providing enough information to start planning now for a future that will likely include an increase in disturbances and rapid changes in forest conditions. Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options: A Guide for Natural Resource Managers in Southern Forest Ecosystems provides a comprehensive analysis of forest management options to guide natural resource management in the face of future climate change. Topics include potential climate change impacts on wildfire, insects, diseases, and invasives, and how these in turn might affect the values of southern forests that include timber, fiber, and carbon; water quality and quantity; species and habitats; and recreation. The book also considers southern forest carbon sequestration, vulnerability to biological threats, and migration of native tree populations due to climate change. This book utilizes the most relevant science and brings together science experts and land managers from various disciplines and regions throughout the south to combine science, models, and on-the-ground experience to develop management options. Providing a link between current management actions and future management options that would anticipate a changing climate, the authors hope to ensure a broader range of options for managing southern forests and protecting their values in the future.
