Basic principles of forest fuel reduction treatments: Research Brief

In  this  paper,  Agee  and Skinner reviewed  related  literature,  simulated  fire  behavior  in different treatment types,  and considered five  real-­‐world examples  of  fuels treatments and  wildfire.  Using   these  methods,  they  distilled  a  set  of basic principles underlying effective  treatments  that   reduce  fuels  and  limit wildfire  severity and extent.
