- W2514072140 abstract "Dense growth of chaparral shrubs (many with flammable compounds in foliage), accumulation of fuels, and summer drought result in inevitable, periodic fires in California chaparral vegetation. Historically, fires were started by lightning and occurred in summer and early fall (the dry or warm season) when shrubs are dormant. The use of prescribed burning has become a widespread management practice in California chaparral vegetation. Prescribed burning is defined as the application of fire to wildland fuels under such conditions of weather, fuels and topography that specific objectives are accomplished safely (Green 1981). Prescribed burns (1) create a mosaic of different vegetative age classes in chaparral and build resistance to rapid fire spread, (2) decrease fire control costs and damage from wildfires, and (3) facilitate integration of all wildland resources (Biswell 1979). An active program of prescribed burning was initiated for public lands administered by Bureau of Land Management in central California in 1979. In Bakersfield District's Hollister Resource Area, prescribed burns have been undertaken for range improvement, fuel hazard reduction, watershed improvement, and wildlife habitat improvement. An important overall objective has been to re-introduce fire as a natural process in chaparral communities and to maintain chaparral species diversity. Range improvement burns are usually conducted in warm season and characteristically involve intensive preparation such as fireline construction and sometimes pretreatment such as chaining or crushing brush. These burns also require a large commitment of manpower and equipment. Hazard reduction and watershed improvement burns are frequently -conducted in cool season (late fall, winter, or early spring) with no fireline construction and a minimum number of personnel. These fires burn large acreages of south slopes in a mosaic pattern to break up fuel continuity, reduce potential for catastrophic wildfires and preserve watershed stability. North slopes are usually too moist and shaded to burn in cool season. Wildlife habitat improvement burns are usually conducted in cool season with objective of creating small mosaics of many different age classes. About 10 percent of area is burned on an average of every two to three years instead of burning a larger acreage at one time as would be done in other types of burns. Habitat improvement burns create increased edge and habitat diversity, which in turn enhances wildlife species diversity. All burns are conducted in close cooperation with California Department of Forestry and adjacent land owners." @default.
