摘要: The long-term effects of different fire management strategies on boreal forest composition and fuels under future regimes were studied in four National Parks western Canada using a model. Longer cycles caused by increased suppression resulted greater fuel accumulation general increase behaviour. Long favoured Picea glauca, mariana Abies balsamea, three highly flammable tree species. Shorter established prescribed burning decreased load Pinus banksiana stands survived shorter cycles, but Populus tremuloides Betula papyrifera greatly favoured, mostly at the expense declining glauca. A shift towards low flammability species such as would cause decrease landscape danger.
