Impact of high-severity fire in a Tasmanian dry eucalypt forest
Dry eucalypt forests are believed to be highly fire tolerant, but their response to fire is not well quantified. We measured the effect of high-severity fires in dry eucalypt forest in the Tasmanian Midlands, the driest region on the island. We compared stand structures and fuel loads in long-unburnt (>15 years since fire) and recently burnt (<5 years since fire) sites that had been completely ...
متن کاملBioenergy from Trees: Using Cost-effective Thinning to Reduce Forest Fire Hazards
Increasingly large and severe wildfires threaten millions of forested acres throughout the West. Under certain conditions, mechanical thinning can address these hazardous conditions while providing opportunities to create renewable energy and reduce our carbon footprint. But how do land managers decide whether thinning is a good idea? How do they decide where to begin, and what to do with the r...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Thinning and Prescribed Fire in Reducing Wildfire Severity
The severity of recent fire seasons in the United States has provided dramatic evidence of the increasing complexity of wildfire problems. A wide variety of indicators suggest worsening dilemmas: extent of area burned, ecosystems at risk, funds expended, homes destroyed or evacuated, and human fatalities and injuries; all seem to be on the increase or have peaked in recent years. The National F...
متن کاملEcology of Fire-Tolerant Podocarps in Temperate Australian Forests
Podocarpus drouynianus and P. spinulosus are two unusual conifers restricted to southwestern and eastern Australia, respectively. The species are morphologically similar and genetically closely related to each other but rather distant from other members of the subgenus Foliolatus. Both species have retained ancestral podocarp characteristics such as dioecy, wind pollination, and large, animaldi...
متن کاملWhite-tailed Deer Herbivory on Forest Regeneration following Fire and Thinning Treatments in Southern Ohio Mixed Oak Forests
The effects of white-tailed deer browsing on species richness, density and height of forest regeneration were examined on three oak dominated forests in southern Ohio. Each study site consisted of four 20 ha silvicultural treatments, resulting in 12 experimental units. Mean estimated post harvest deer densities were 6 deer km. Three pairs of plots were established within each treatment at each ...
