For as long as mankind can conceive, fire has been a remarkable tool to conquer. When controlled, it provides necessary heat, energy, and fuel for a consumer to use; however, when fire goes unattended, it has the potential to become a wholly destructive element. The more western states of America, such as Utah and Colorado, have repeatedly experienced this concept in its most devastating form: wildfires. A wildfire is generally considered to be difficult to control and fast moving, swallowing anything that lay in its path, including forest or human habitat. As human incursion reaches more remote areas in wooded mountains, wildfires pose a serious threat to high-end homes and secluded cabins. The untamed nature of these fires also allows them to creep into subdivisions and endanger more

'Splendour in the Grass' is a yearly Australian music celebration. In 2001, 'Splendour in the Grass' begun as an one day occasion held at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay, NSW and soon advanced into a three day occasion. It is currently thought to be one the country's biggest winter celebrations and draws in countless that go from everywhere throughout the nation. 'Splendour in the Grass' moved to Woodford, QLD after the NSW court denied coordinators consent to utilize a bigger site at Byron Bay, NSW. 'The Moreton Bay Regional Council and State Government have arranged a two-year manage 'Splendour in the Grass', which will be extended to three days.' (Kellett, C 2009). Alongside the move to the new grounds, coordinators presented a third night of music at the occasion.

The ground cover consisted of graminoids, low shrubs, plant litter and mosses. What is to be expected after a low intensity burn is for the ground cover to act as a fuel and be dramatically reduced, while the canopy mostly survives. Higher intensity burns act to destroy the acacia cover along with the ground cover, and to kill the eucalypts. Both trees have survival mechanisms however. The acacias have tolerant seedlings that are triggered to grow after a fire to replace the short lived adults (Maslin, 2001). Eucalypts instead tolerate the fire, using lignotubers and epicormic buds to recover from within the dead tree. Lignotubers act as a hardy nutrient storage at the base of the trunk that can sprout new stems after a fire, while the epicormic buds on the trunk and branches allow the tree to continue growth from the dead trunk (Drake et al

Leaves: Leaf base are very hairy and has no white waxy surface. Leaves with conspicuous midrib which does not continue into leaf base. It has no secondary veins between midrib and leaf edge. Both leaf surfaces are dark green, it snap readily when tugged. Dead leaf bases with spiral like wood shavings.

The Burnt Area of Mount Pilot contains mixed stands of competing, seedlings with slower growing Callitris seedlings and re-sprouting Eucalyptus trees. There is few Callitris endlicheri, as the species is fire sensitive and often destroyed by fire, particularly when in quick succession. Prior to the 2003 fire the site was dominated by Callitris species of tree. The seedlings that emerged were mostly Eucalyptus, with less dense Callitris seedlings proving that the growth of Callitris is not consistent with long term site suitability. Surprisingly, more Eucalyptus seedlings died in the first six years of regeneration that Callitris seedlings; competition in co-existence does not determine survivability. The major trend is that the growth of Eucalyptus seedlings is faster than that of Callitris seedlings. The density of Eucalyptus seedlings is shown to effect Callitris seedlings growth which thrives where Eucalyptus seedlings are sparser. Callitris may take 7-15 years to produce sufficient seeds (Cohn, Lunt, Ross, & Bradstock, 2011; I. Lunt, Jones, N., & Petrow, M.,, 2003; I. Lunt, Price, J.,, 2016; Ian D Lunt, Zimmer, & Cheal, 2011; Zimmer, 2012).

One of the best feelings that a person can get while sitting in class is that feeling of “when the light bulb goes on.” That moment happened last Tuesday in class, when Dr. Liu was giving us his overview of Turfgrass. When he explained about how the patterns in the turf are because of the direction that the grass is cut. All those years of playing baseball in middle school and high school came together and the light bulb went off. Learning that special patterns could be done with the help of a roller on the turf was very cool. It would have really awesome to have done a few unique patterns in the outfield in high school. My mind automatly went to the amazing baseball fields that are seen on TV or the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day every year.

She then goes on to explain the necessity of the brush fires to the biome, "Some plants in the chaparral--such as the padre's staff-- require the heat of the flame to crack open their seed pods and prepare for germination" (Thomas). Fire is vital to the existence and survival of the padre's staff. Even though not all plant life in the chaparral zones need the heat to germinate, they still benefit from the

The fire began as the result of an out-of-control campfire, and because of high wind and drought conditions which resulted in low fuel-moisture spread relatively quickly for an upland fire in the southeastern United States, although not to the scale of western wildfires. Even though the 2000 Linville Gorge fire was mainly a surface fire, the fire burned 4,000 hectares of wilderness area, and forced local management agencies to start paying more attention to upland ecosystems that were not previously thought to be fire-dependent. Considering the magnitude of the fire, it was fortunate that no human lives or homes were lost in the inferno. Vegetative studies show that Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia), an evergreen shrub, reproduced much faster than other understory species (Dumas, Neufeld, & Fisk, 2007). This is attributed to its ability to resprout following a fire. The Linville Gorge Fire has been significant in shaping Southeastern fire mitigation in that it gave foresters an opportunity to study oak-pine forests that had not seen fire for over 50

The rising number of high severity wildfires in California has significant ecological, economic, and health impacts. Many western American forests are adapted to frequent low severity fires. However, the majority of these forests, and particularly the mixed conifer forests of California, are not adapted to high intensity fires and do not possess fire resistance adaptations such as serotinous cones to protect seeds. Consequently, high severity fires have significant negative impacts on California forests, and the absence of low severity fires has considerably altered many fundamental ecosystem processes (Miller et al. 2008). Prior to 1900, low severity fires would burn every 6-15 years. Low severity fires are generally non-lethal, have minimal change to the overstory, and kill mainly small trees. In the past, these fires were started naturally by lightning, or by Native Americans who used low severity fires to manage the forests.

The focus of this lesson will be teaching the students to examine the history of wildland fires and their impact on society in America and in their community. Students will explore different approaches to living with fire and will examine various fire management techniques including prescribed fire, fire suppression, and fire prevention. They will take a closer look at the Copper King Fire in Montana, and will conduct a research project of wildfire history in another state. Students will also gain a better understanding of the role of fire in a particular culture and the importance of wildfire in the ecosystem. They will also understand ways to reduce wildfire risk around their home and community. Furthermore, students will increase their knowledge

Looking further into the impacts of the Rodeo-Chediski fire the trees saw the greatest impact of the fire. Almost 90% of the trees suffered complete crown kill (Ffolliott, 2008). Either some trees had survived with low severity, were harmed, or dead because of the drought and the fire combined. Even though some of the trees that had faced high severity apparently after having seen what trees had survived the fire yet by 2004 two years after the fire they had died (Ffolliott, 2008). The wildfire also impacted the standardization structure, post-fire mortality of trees, and stocking of tree reproduction on the Steamer Ridge Watershed (Ffolliott, 2008). After the fire had finally been contained the density of the forest had been forever changed.

The eucalyptus tree releases its seeds after a fire. This is because there are all the nutrients now in the soil, often known as the ‘ash bed effect, for the seed to germinate. This gives the eucalyptus saplings less competition because of those who could not survive after the fire. Therefore meaning the trees have a higher chance of

First, the reading states that Yellowstone fires caused tremendous damage to the park's trees and other vegetation. The professor opposes this point by saying that scorch, that is produced from fires, is a good place for colonizing new plants. That can create plants diversity, especially for plants that need a high amount of heat.The professor adds that smaller plants that need open and unshaded areas can grow after the fire.

Much like all events and natural phenomena that pose a threat to civilization, humans have learned to cope with and prevent the loss of human life and destruction of property in devastating blazes that can break out seemingly at random. Fighting fires was not always the science it is today, but due to the use of new technologies and the fundamental understanding of what fire is, how it spreads, how it can kill, and how it is stopped, our protocol when dealing with fires has increased our success rate and continues to grow with applications of engineering, chemistry, and meteorology.
