Pixel-level statistical analyses of prescribed fire spread

Mathematical and Statistical Analyses of the Spread of Dengue

This paper is aimed at clarifying the contributions of mathematical and statistical approaches to dengue epidemiology without delving into mathematical details and sharing the basic theory and its applications regardless of the reader’s mathematical background. The practical importance of the basic reproduction number, R 0 , for dengue is highlighted in relation to the critical proportion of va...

Grassland Management With Prescribed Fire

This circular provides an overview of the use of fire in grassland management. It describes the history and importance of fire in the grassland ecosystem, how plants respond to fire, and the uses and potential benefits of prescribed fire. It also summarizes fire planning and legal and safety considerations. And finally, it provides guidance on some special uses of fire. when burning conditions ...

Use of Prescribed Fire for Vegetation Management

Of the 110 000 to 180 000 hectares per year on which prescribed burning has recently been conducted in Canada, 70 000 to 150 000 hectares per year (mostly in British Columbia) has been burned for vegetation management purposes. Such purposes include silviculture, control of plant parasites, promotion of desirable plant species, and conservation of natural ecosystems. The emphasis of prescribed ...

Investigating Effects of a Prescribed Spring Fire on Symbiosis between Mycorrhiza Fungi and Range Plant Species

Fire is one of the incorporate vegetation management practices for grasslands and semi-arid rangelands. It may affect symbiotic relationship between range plants and mycorrhiza. Accordingly, this research was aimed to investigate the effects of a spring prescribed fire on the symbiotic relationships between mycorrhiza and 6 plant species. The study was conducted in a semi-arid steppe rangeland ...
