The severity and extent of recent fires (1979-1990) were compared with that of presettlement fires (pre-1935) by eight major forest types in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness (SBW) in Idaho and Montana. Presettlement fire intervals were determined…

Sagebrush is considered to be an obligate vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal plant. Some studies have shown that burning lowers the mycorrhizal inoculum potential (MIP) of the soil (Klopatek and others 1988, 1990; Wicklow-Howard 1989). If this happens…

Total particulate matter (PM) emissions were estimated for recent fires (1979-1990) and the presettlement period (prior to 1935) in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness (SBW) in Idaho and Montana. Recent period emissions were calculated by 10-day…

Turner argues that while the best way to avoid disasters is primarily “for managers to establish, to strengthen, and then to assert control,” management control only addresses part of the problem, and there are limitations that affect management in…
