Abstract:
Objectives:
To develop an Infrared Data Acquisition System and Fire Analysis Correctional
Technique System (FACTS) for fire behavior monitoring; to develop an understanding
for the proper application of understory prescribed fire for promoting
red pine and white pine regeneration; to understand the relationship between
mineral soil seedbed and natural jack pine regeneration after wildfire;
to model fire behavior characteristics of mixedwood and jack pine forest
fuel types; and, to investigate cone and seed development of fire-killed
white pines.
Location:
red and white pine stands in Ontario
Key Deliverables:
Paper- Use of understory prescribed fire in bracken fern control; Journal
Articles - Results of 1997 African Fire-Atmospheric Research Initiative
for the characterizing of smoke emissions from biomass burning in eastern
African savannas; and, Seedbed requirements for natural regeneration of
jack pine following wildfire. Upgrading of the Infrared Fire Data Acquisition
System.
Expected Benefits:
Sources of Funding:
Climate Change and Fire Research Network
Other Collaborators:
Mike Kane, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
Nature of Other Collaborators' Involvement:
In-kind funding for planning and conducting the Sturgeon experimental
burns; and, In-kind funding for planning and conducting the Lafoe experimental
burns.
