| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Late summer to winter. INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 7-25 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 7. INTERVAL_MAX: 25. STRATEGY: Aim for a burn mosaic of 40-60% over the burn area. A diversity of season and fire intensity is important, as well as spot ignition in cooler or moister periods to encourage mosaics. Late summer burns assist with maintaining control of fire intensity. ISSUES: Avoid repeated low intensity fires. Fires that are too frequent will eliminate obligate seeding species. |
