Book excerpt: Prescribed burning is an important tool throughout Southern forests, grasslands, and croplands. The need to control fire became evident to allow forests to regenerate. This manual is intended to help resource managers to plan and execute prescribed burns in Southern forests and grasslands. A new appreciation and interest has developed in recent years for using prescribed fire in grasslands, especially hardwood forests, and on steep mountain slopes. Proper planning and execution of prescribed fires are necessary to reduce detrimental effects, such as the impacts on air and downstream water quality.

This comprehensive book will provide fire practitioners, researchers, agencies and policymakers with key ecological and managerial insight of how prescribed fires are conducted around the globe.

We developed and demonstrated an analytical method that uses readily available tools to evaluate pre- and posttreatment stand conditions; size, species, and volume of merchantable wood removed during thinnings; size and volume of submerchantable wood cut during treatments; and financial returns of prescriptions that are applied repeatedly over a 90-year period.

Book excerpt: Large wildfires threaten forests and humans alike. Thinning and controlled burning can address many of the forest health and community safety concerns. However, the smoke generated during these burns can be a nuisance, a public health issue, and can have other consequences. As more acres are burned, the public will be faced with more smoke in the air. It is important to understand the importance of and the reasoning behind low-intensity burning, and the issues associated with it. Particularly in the west United States, public forestlands are overgrown and we are confronted with a choice between smaller amounts of smoke more often, or large amounts of smoke less frequently each of these choices carries trade-offs and long-term consequences.
