Question 1: Explain how fire impacts soil porosity and infiltration-include at least 3 examples.
Question 2: Explain how human actions have impacted natural fire regimes-include at least 3 fire regime attributes and give examples.
Question 3: Rothermal's spread equation and subsequent models provides a relatively useful tool for understanding and predicting wildfires. Provide three areas of current research that is intended to improve this model and predictive abilities.
Question 4: Describe what conditions are typically needed for a crown fire to move faster than the associated ground fire (assuming that were the result of the same ignition source). Are these common and long lived occurrences? Explain why or why not.
Question 5: Describe how our understanding of fire in the ecosystem has changed. How has this impacted our land management practices (e.g. fuels management, fire suppression practices, etc.)?
