Behavior and effects of prescribed fire in masticated fuelbeds: Research Brief

The  authors  conducted prescribed  burns in  two   masticated  areas  in  northern  California to assess   fire  effects  in  treated stands,  compare  fire   behavior  and  effects  with  outputs  from  commonly   used  models,  and  evaluate  the  ability  of   mastication  to  increase  stand  resilience  under  a   range  of  hypothetical  wildfire  scenarios.
