Effects of prescribed range burning on wildlife
Effects of prescribed range burning on wildlife
Raja Mohammad Ashfaque
ABSTRACT
Burning is the oldest known practice used by man to manipulate vegetation on grazing lands. Although it is not a cure-all for all the range problems but can be effective and practical tool in range improvement. The use of fire is frightening and many desirable prescribed burns do not get started mainly due to two fears; liability consequences and one's career at stake if fire gets away (Wright, 1974). Fire is an art not a science. As the skill in use of fire in range, wildlife and forest management develops fears and hesitations in adopting it as a tool,
will gradually diminish.
