Burning in a Bunchgrass/Sagebrush Community: The Southern Interior Of B.C. and Northwestern U.S. Compared

Abstract

Investigations following a wildfire near Kamloops, B.C., indicated that, contrary to reported experiences in the United States, gray rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus) is susceptible to fire in this area. Hence caution is necessary when developing burning prescriptions and using extrapolated information.
