The stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) has thick bark as an adaptation to wildfire. In this study,
laboratory tests were carried out to quantify the influence of bark thickness on flammability …

Pine resistance to low-to moderate-intensity fire arises from traits (namely related to tissue
insulation from heat) that enable tree survival. Predictive models of the likelihood of tree …

In Southern Africa, a high percentage of suitable timber plantation sites have to be set aside
for unplanted fire breaks. These fire prevention systems are normally in the form of …

Fire management can play a key role in ensuring stand maintenance in future scenarios of
global change, particularly in Pinus nigra stands, which are known to be adapted to low …

Abstract Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), Jeffrey pine (P. jeffreyi), longleaf pine (P.
palustris), and south Florida slash pine (P. elliottii var. densa) are fire resisters. Trees of …

Bark thickness plays a critical role in protecting a tree's cambium from damage by fires. Does
frequent surface fire stimulate bark production compared with a fire-suppressed control …

Differences have been observed in the resistance to fire of Pinus species in the Cape
Province. This information was used to draw up a species-specific fire damage classification …

We subjected 159 small ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex P. & C. Laws.) to
treatments designed to test the relative importance of stem damage as a predictor of postfire …

April, 1939 LONGLEAF PINE FORESTS 289 stocking falls far short of this. One of the
characteristics of stands of second growth longleaf is understocking. Throughout most of the …

In many fire-prone woodlands and forests, fire exclusion has resulted in substantial litter and
duff accumulations capable of long-duration smoldering once fire is reintroduced. While …
