Landscape-scale changes in canopy fuels and potential fire behavior following ponderosa pine restoration treatments
Roccaforte JP, Fule PZ, Covington WW. 2008. Landscape-scale changes in canopy fuels and potential fire behavior following ponderosa pine restoration treatments. International Journal of Wildland Fire. 17:293-303
We evaluated canopy fuels and potential fire behavior changes following landscape-scale restoration treatments in a ponderosa pine forest at Mt Trumbull, Arizona, USA. The goal of the project was to restore historical forest structure by thinning and burning, thereby reducing canopy fuels and minimizing active crown fire potential.
