Talk:Fire ecology

message: Just as a notice, I am currently working on a full-scale revision of this page that will include an overview of peer-reviewed scientific research in fire ecology, case studies on the role that fire and fire suppression play in ecological communities, and current policies concerning fire. I expect to have a draft of the page ready by the end of January, and I look forward to members of the national and international community filling in the gaps I leave because of my western US bias. --Melpomene107 20:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

"Incident: Station Fire Wildfire
Released: 3 days ago
ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST STATION FIRE BAER: WATERSHED RAPID ASSESSMENT AND RESPONSE
* There are three phases of rehabilitation following wildfires on federal lands: Fire Suppression Repair; Burned Area Emergency Response; and Long-term Recovery.
* Fire Suppression Repair is a series of immediate post-fire actions taken to repair damages and minimize environmental impacts resulting from fire suppression activities and is usually began after the fire is contained and before the demobilization of an Incident Management Team. This work rehabilitates the hand and dozer firelines, roads, trails, staging areas, safety zones, and drop points used during fire suppression efforts.
* BAER -The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program is a rapid assessment of burned watersheds by BAER teams to identify unacceptable post-fire threats and implement emergency treatments to reduce unacceptable risks before the first major storm or damaging event. The fire results in a loss of vegetation, exposure of the soil to erosion and increased water runoff that may lead to flooding and increased sediment and debris flows. BAER treatments such as the installation of erosion and runoff water control devices; temporary barriers to protect recovering areas; warning signs; and drainage features for increased flow may be implemented. BAER work may also replace safety related facilities; remove safety hazards; prevent permanent loss of habitat for threatened and endangered species; and prevent the spread of noxious weeds. 
* Long-Term Recovery utilizes non-emergency actions that are done within three years or more after fire containment to improve fire-damaged lands that are unlikely to recover naturally and to repair or replace facilities damaged by the fire that are not critical to life safety. This phase may include restoring burned habitat, monitoring fire effects, replacing burned fences, interpreting cultural sites, treating pre-existing noxious weed infestations, and installing interpretive signs."
I think that this article is a little biased. True, wilfires form part of certain ecosystems, but the article should also state the detrimental effects on endangered ecosystems and endangered species they have on them as well as on old growth forests which are endangered and
and are vital for some endangered species. And some "prescribed fires" are set to plant species that are only beneficial to lumber companies.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.174.181 (talk) 14:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Post-fire effects 

message: Spelling and grammar seem to be OK, but the style/tone could still be improved. Article seems a bit long and sounds like a term paper. Not sure what to fix here.

replies: text: Respectfully disagree; find article excellent in coverage, citations, and additional references. Can be a contentious topic, but tone here is not.---Look2See1 (talk) 20:50, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually coverage is focused on North America, and barely even touches on broad areas of ecological fire sciences, particularly in frequently burnt ecosystems (mediterranean types (Heathlands, Garrigue, Fynbos, Eucalypt forests etc)).  I think style could focus a little more on defining the science (regime & responses) rather than context (Smokey Bear) Clovis Sangrail (talk) 07:27, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
