Backing and flanking fire in a savanna unit.

Backing fire around a bur oak.

Knocked off 3 salubrious dormant #prescribedburns at UWM-Waukesha Field Station w/ #ThePrairieEnthusiasts. Local ordinance not allowing wind above 9mph led to an element of unpredictability but it went OK.

Vegetation Dynamics After Spring and Summer Fires in Red and White Pine Stands at Voyageurs National Park Conducting dormant season or springtime prescribed fire treatments has become a common practice in many regions of the United States to restore ecosystems to their natural state. Despite the knowledge...

This study indicates that summer #prescribedburns shift vegetation compositions in red and white #pine #forest #ecosystems and ultimately facilitate higher post-burn #vegetationdiversity. Read the open-access article here: bioone.org/journals/nat...
