Overview
The role of fuel reduction measures in forming a landscape mosaic of fuel ages that suppresses the incidence of large wildfires has been a topic of ongoing debate. Although the debate has focused on (Californian) shrublands, management options in other fire prone landscapes are likely constrained by the same set of functions. The core of the discussion questions how fuel-age, or time since fire, determines the probability of a site burning in a wildfire.
