Fuel Concepts. 330 $aWildland fuels are a critical factor in fire management because they are the one factor that managers can control.  However, fuels have always been defined, described, and quantified in the context of inputs to fire behavior models.  Wildland fuel science was always considered part of fire behavior research and the two have been intimately linked for over 50 years.  Now, however, there are many other critical applications for wildland fuels, such as carbon accounting, wildlife habitat assessment, erosion control, and smoke calculation. The rigid fire behavior treatment of fuels does not lend itself to these other important fields.   Wildland Fuel Fundamentals and Application is the first book to highlight wildland fuels and treat them as a natural resource rather than just a fire behavior input. This volume serves as a synthesis of fuels information in the context of ecology that can be used to understand basic fuels characteristics to objectively evaluate results of fire research and management applications. It is the only volume to provide a comprehensive description of fuels as well their ecology and measurement in one place. 606 $aLandscape ecology 606 $aForestry 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aEnvironmental engineering 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology  606 $aLandscape Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19058 606 $aForestry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L22008 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aEcology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007 615 0$aLandscape ecology. 615 0$aForestry. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology . 615 14$aLandscape Ecology. 615 24$aForestry. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aEnvironmental Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aEcology. 676 $a333.7 676 $a570 676 $a577 676 $a628 676 $a634.9 676 $a660.6 700 $aKeane$b Robert E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058744 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298271503321 996 $aWildland Fuel Fundamentals and Applications$92502110 997 $aUNINA
