DOI: 10.1007/s10342-019-01247-6
Abstract: In Sweden, prescribed burning was trialed as early as the 1890s for forest regeneration purposes. However, the origins of prescribed burning in Sweden are commonly attributed to Joel Efraim Wretlind, forest manager in the State… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02010-9
Abstract: Despite substantial investment in prescribed burning for biodiversity conservation there has been surprisingly little demonstration of its efficacy in achieving intended conservation aims for fauna. In the case of northern Australia’s threatened mammal fauna, most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2016.09.010
Abstract: Abstract Fire weather forecasts are used by land and wildlife managers to determine when meteorological and fuel conditions are suitable to conduct prescribed burning. In this work, we investigate the sensitivity of ambient PM 2.5… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.10.042
Abstract: Abstract Global change threatens the persistence of native forest ecosystems mainly by limiting the conditions for natural regeneration but also inducing tree mortality and increasing the risk of large wildfires. In this context, understanding the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118463
Abstract: Abstract Ecosystem management can negatively affect the demography of plant communities through the introduction of novel disturbance regimes. Prescribed burning and timber harvesting are two common and widely applied management strategies across forest ecosystems. Despite… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119250
Abstract: Abstract Adoption of prescribed burning is increasing as the treatment chosen to decrease fuel hazard in southern Europe but little is known about how it affects wildfire activity. We assessed the effectiveness of prescribed burning… read more here.

Forest management with wildfire risk, prescribed burning and diverse carbon policies
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Forest Policy and Economics"
DOI: 10.1016/j.forpol.2016.10.004
Abstract: Forests absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and also can release it back into the atmosphere through natural disturbances and management activities. In this study, the impact of different carbon policies on a landowner's management decisions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2021.115169
Abstract: Abstract High-mountain soils are rich in partially decomposed organic matter, which is highly sensitive to mineralization and fire. Prescribed burning is performed in the Pyrenees to keep subalpine grasslands open for grazing. The compositions of… read more here.
