Reducing natural ponderosa pine fuels using prescribed fire: two case studies
Published: 1980
Language: eng
Description: Abstract: Dead, natural fuels were reduced in weight by 65% and 43%, respectively, when burned under different conditions in two ponderosa pine stands in Arizona. Fine surface fuel reductions temporarily lessen the threat of rapidly spreading wildfires. Large fuels were not as effectively altered by a single prescribed fire.
