Ecol Appl 16:1744-56. 2006..Shrubs that resprout were favored by higher fire frequencies and gained in extent under these treatments. Due to this potential for vegetation change, caution is advised against the widespread use of prescribed fire in the region... - Fuel breaks affect nonnative species abundance in Californian plant communitiesKyle E Merriam

Ecol Appl 16:515-27. 2006..Fuel break construction and maintenance methods that leave some overstory canopy and minimize exposure of bare ground may be less likely to promote nonnative plants...
