It is the purpose of this paper to explore the integration of fire management into the land planning process. Through an understanding of fire management and its effects on other forest activities, a framework may be developed for meeting both the objectives of legislation in forest management and improvement in...
The objectives of this paper are to: (1) describe the structure and output of SHRUB and RMS8O, (2) evaluate their respective ability to satisfy the needs of a state level timber assessment, and (3) demonstrate their application to forest planning using the state of California as the focus of a...
Successful implementation of a forest plan depends in large part on 1) the quality of that plan, 2) the amount of public ownership in it and 3) the ability of the Forest Service to effectively involve the public in the process of putting it into action. The first two'points are...
