Login Forest Fires Forest Fires: Their Effect on the Forests of Eastern North America The forests of eastern North America exhibit considerable variation in both their composition and their response to natural fire. As one progresses from north to south, these forests range from boreal and mixed coniferhardwood to deciduous. Throughout this range, forest fire can have a number of different effects. Fire is a natural force which is actually required by the many dynamic processes of forest regeneration (Ripper, 1989, p. 36). Forest fire purges mature forests of various pests (Brosnahan, 1990, p. 69). For example, smoke kills the Tussock moth and spruce bud worm (Ripper, 1989, p. 36). Fire also converts tree needles and other forest floor debris into nutrientrich beds. These areas promote the growth of seedlings. Finally, many plant species actually incorporate periodic conflagration into their reproductive cycles. The primary cause of natural fires is lightning (Johnson, 1992, p. 6). In some areas, it accounts for 90% of areas burned. In order for a large fire to occur, a number of circumstances must be present (Johnson, 1992, p. 11). For one, the wood fuels must be dry enough to burn. Then, there must be ignition. Finally, wind is usually necessary for fire spread.

49. Why Foresters Prefer To Fight Fire With Fire NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/library/review/082000forest-fires-review.html

August 20, 2000 Why Foresters Prefer to Fight Fire With Fire By TIMOTHY EGAN United States Forest Service After the Big Burn, in 1910. Fires aren't always as bad as they look, forest experts say. EATTLE Exactly ninety years ago, on Aug. 20, 1910, in the choking heat of a summer without rain in the northern Rockies, the sun disappeared from the sky and a sound not unlike cannon fire began rattling throughout Montana and Idaho. The Big Burn, as the 3-million-acre firestorm of 1910 was called, eventually consumed entire towns, killed 87 people and burned a lesson into the fledgling U.S. Forest Service. Thereafter, the service vowed, it would snuff out every fire, at one point swearing to do so by 10 a.m. on the day after the fire started. The best-known forester of that time, Gifford Pinchot, equated wildfire with slavery as a historic scourge of the nation. Another, Bernhard Fernow, blamed "bad habits and loose morals" for the fires. Now, in the midst of the worst wildfire year in nearly half a century, a new round of finger-pointing is under way. Touring Montana last week, House Speaker Dennis Hastert blamed the Clinton administration for not logging the tinder-dry forests. Environmentalists pointed at the timber industry and development for altering forest ecology and creating an artificial landscape ripe for catastrophe. But the Forest Service remains focused on its own primary culprit: the symbol of fire eradication, Smokey the Bear.

By David Johnson and Mark Zurlo Related Links Smokey Bear Worst U.S. Fire Timeline: Fires and Explosions Nat'l Interagency Fire Center Of all nature's disasters, forest fires are often considered the most frightening. Moving at lightning speed, giant walls of flames can burn acres of land in just a few minutes. And although technology, including the use of fire-retardant chemicals, has greatly aided the fight against forest fires, they still take an enormous toll. According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the 2006 fire season was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres burned. There were 96,385 fires and 9,873,429 acres affected by fire in a year that was 125% more destructive than the 10-year average. These fires cost the federal government $1.5 billion to fight, and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort. In comparison, the 2010 fire season was a marked improvement, with 37,743 fires that consumed 2,011,117 acres.

Information System Forest Fires The thick haze caused by Forest Fires, covering major parts of Indonesia and Malaysia during the dry season, are presently a hot item in discussions concerning environmental impacts. The haze has a strong polluting effect, has a bad smell and causes severe distress for persons with respiration problems. It is claimed that the fires also have a world wide greenhouse effect. Photo: (below). Thick haze caused by Fires in Bush Land and Marshes on Dolak Island, Papua (Frederik Hendrik Island) in December 1982. What causes the Fires? Land Clearing Activities The latest haze problems caused by fires were recorded in January/February 2000 in Riau and Jambi provinces, Sumatra. These fires were related to land clearing activities for new oilpalm and pulp wood plantations in these two provinces. These new oilpalm and pulp wood plantations are mainly found in the low uplands on the east coast which are easily accessible, but recently they are more and more also found in the Tidal Lowlands. Although a very important cause of the present fire/haze problems, these land clearing activities are not the only cause of the forest fires.
