Excerpt from The Use of Fire in the Protection of Longleaf and Slash Pine ForestsThe southern Coastal Plain during the late winter and early spring of 1943 suffered one of the worst fire seasons in the experience of organized forest fire protection in this region, losses in the first 4.months of 1943 were approximately double the average annual loss for the past 8 years. Fire losses were particularly severe in the longleaf and slash pine portion of the Coastal Plain because of the long drought, large number of fires, and shortage of experienced labor for fire control.Forest land owners and managers in the region of longleaf and slash pines are faced with a critical protection problem, recurrence of these severe conditions threatens the destruction of all or most of the growing stock on individual properties, In this situation, they are becoming increasingly interested in the use of fire as an aid to forest protection.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
