Abstract:

Fire, once considered a villain in the forest, is now used by biologists to enhance many wildlife species and to help in forest restoration. Prescribed, or controlled, burning thins forests of competing underbrush, prepares good seedbeds for replanting in logged areas, and eliminates fire danger by eliminating fuel buildup.
