Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Forest Fire Prevention Handbook for the Schools of Oregon All nations need wood. A nation that does not have enough for sts of its own must import lumber from others that have a surplus. The same is true of the States Of our Union. The States with an abundance of timber must supply those that do not have enough. Forests and the products of the forest. Play an important part in our lives. Thousands of articles are made from wood to say nothing of the wood that is used in buildings, other construction work, and by the railroads. Medicines and even clothing are made from trees. Our country is now using each year pounds of artificial silk made from cellulose, which is a wood product.

Download or read book Forest Fires written by Philip Nori Omi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-05-23 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From killer fires to ecosystem rehabilitation, an exhaustive survey exploring the ecological, social, and economic consequences of managing fires in U.S. wildland areas. Fire management involves protecting natural resources from fire but also using controlled burning for land management purposes. Who are the stewards of land management and the researchers who devote their entire careers studying fire? How are ecosystems restored after major fires? What are the economic ramifications and what assessment tools are available? Forest Fires: A Reference Handbook explores the historical, ecological, economic, and social dimensions of wildland combustion and their impacts in North America. Explaining how legislation and public perception have been shaped by historic fires and fire seasons, particular emphasis is placed on the summer of 2000 as a way of understanding and managing future fires.
Download or read book Fire Management in the American West written by Mark Hudson and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most journalists and academics attribute the rise of wildfires in the western United States to the USDA Forest Service's successful fire-elimination policies of the twentieth century. However, in Fire Management in the American West, Mark Hudson argues that although a century of suppression did indeed increase the hazard of wildfire, the responsibility does not lie with the USFS alone. The roots are found in the Forest Service's relationships with other, more powerful elements of society--the timber industry in particular. Drawing on correspondence both between and within the Forest Service and the major timber industry associations, newspaper articles, articles from industry outlets, and policy documents from the late 1800s through the present, Hudson shows how the US forest industry, under the constraint of profitability, pushed the USFS away from private industry regulation and toward fire exclusion, eventually changing national forest policy into little more than fire policy. More recently, the USFS has attempted to move beyond the policy of complete fire suppression. Interviews with public land managers in the Pacific Northwest shed light on the sources of the agency's struggles as it attempts to change the way we understand and relate to fire in the West. Fire Management in the American West will be of great interest to environmentalists, sociologists, fire managers, scientists, and academics and students in environmental history and forestry.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildfire in dry, frequent-fire forests is a pressing issue for natural resource managers, communities and politicians in the western United States. Area affected by wildfire has climbed steadily over the last twenty years and is expected to increase in the future. Recognition of the importance of both social and biophysical influences on wildfire management has led to calls for integrated social-ecological research and new methods for studying ecosystems that incorporate both social and biophysical science. This project integrates social and biophysical research methods to address research questions related to wildfire, forest dynamics, and management of national forestlands in Oregon's Central Cascades. Qualitative content analysis is paired with landscape modeling to answer research questions related to managing frequent-fire forests for landscape resilience. Collectively, both approaches present a more complete understanding of challenges and opportunities related to managing for landscape resilience than could either approach on its own. One common thread identified in both approaches is the importance of bringing more fire onto the landscape, either through the use of prescribed fire or carefully managed wildfire. Both interview respondents and modeling results demonstrate the importance of using managed fire to reduce the risk of high-severity wildfire. Another compelling result of the analysis stemmed from modeling simulations which showed current levels of management to lead to the same amount of high-severity fire as a no management scenario. Finally, the modeling results demonstrated that not every acre has to be managed to reduce wildfire risk across a larger landscape. Landscape-scale management plans are thus critical to the development of effective management strategies, and forest plans may fulfill this role. Forest Service budgeting based on forest plans could lead to more efficient, effective, and responsive public administration of federal lands.
