Book Description
Provides an ecological foundation for mgmt. of the diverse ecosystems and fire regimes of N. America, based on scientific principles of fire interactions with vegetation, fuels, and biophysical processes. Detailed discussion of six ecosystems ¿ ponderosa pine forest (western N. America), chaparral (Calif.), boreal forest (Alaska and Canada), Great Basin sagebrush (inter-mountain West), pine and pine-hardwood forests (Southern Appalachian Mountains), and longleaf pine (Southeastern U.S.) ¿ illustrates the complexity of fire regimes and that fire mgmt. requires a clear regional focus that recognizes where conflicts might exist between fire hazard reduction and resource needs. Illustrations. This is a print on demand report.

Book Description
Published a decade after DeBano, Neary, and Folliott' 1998 book, Fire's Effects on Ecosystems, this up-to-date volume builds on their foundation to bring current knowledge on natural post-fire processes and describe the use and effectiveness of various restoration strategies that may be applied when human intervention is warranted. Written by leading scientists, the chapters in this book are compiled to provide relevant and accessible information to students, land managers, and policy-makers as well as other scientists.
Fuels Treatments and Forest Restoration

Book Description
In contemporary ponderosa pine forests throughout the Southwest the need to thin dense stands in order to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires has become evident. Numerous thinning prescriptions have been implemented. While many prescriptions focus solely on lowering fire risk by removing ladder fuels and reducing crown connectivity, others explicitly aim to alter both forest structure and functioning. This publication examines the benefits of restoration treatments that can lower fire danger while also increasing the overall biological diversity and long-term health of treatment areas.
