Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex subject of controlled burning in brushlands, particularly in the northern areas of California. The author examines the historical practices of prescribed burning by Native American communities, European settlers, and modern ranchers. It analyzes the arguments presented by groups both for and against the use of controlled burns within the region. Through in-depth interviews with ranchers and extensive field observations, the book presents a nuanced perspective on the effects of this land management practice on not only vegetation, but additionally, the soil, wildlife, and the environment as a whole. Ultimately, the book questions the long-held belief that controlled burning effectively increases the productivity and quality of forage for grazing livestock. This book is an essential resource for land managers, ecologists, and anyone interested in sustainable land use practices, particularly in the context of the ecological challenges faced by California's brushland ecosystems.
