Thirty prescribed burns were attempted in pinyon-juniper woodlands from fall 1974 to fall 1976. These attempts were made out of fire season, during varied atmospheric conditions, and in several pinyon-juniper communities. An analysis of the successful burns provided us with a method for predicting burning success from windspeed, air temperature, and vegetation cover. An igniting technique is also discussed.

Excerpt from Predicting Success of Prescribed Fires in Pinyon-Juniper Woodland in Nevada Most of the woodlands in Nevada have a large degree of nonuniformity due to the abruptly changing topography, soil depth, aspect, and elevation. This nonuniformity provides many natural firebreaks in most pinyon-juniper stands and makes it easy to delineate areas for prescribed burning. This report provides burning guidelines for using prescribed fire as a management tool in pinyon-juniper communities. The various pinyon-juniper communities have been segregated and recommendations are made as to which communities are most responsive to fire. From 1974 to 1976, 30 attempts were made to burn pinyon-juniper vegetation in the spring and fall. Twelve of these attempts were successful in that the fire carried beyond the ignition area through the vegetation leaving few if any unburned areas or islands. The best ignition methods were determined, and a simple method for determining burning success prior to ignition was developed from analyses of these burns.
