Fire Ecology

Florida leads the U.S. in fire ecology efforts.

There is an increasing appreciation for the natural role of fire in forested ecosystems. The ability to apply fire is a growing demand and the ability to implement complex prescriptions challenge forest managers.

GIS provides the ability to assess that complexity, serve as a scheduling tool, and provide an accounting of changes in vegetative condition. In combination with critical information, it helps managers know how to ignite and still meet regulatory compliance.

Application areas include

• Fire Regimes
• Fire Restoration
• Prescribed Fire
• Air Quality
