Forest fires are the result of complex interactions of weather and vegetation and are highly probabilistic. Characterizing forest fire regimes, the synoptic properties of spatio-temporal variability of individual fires, is important for many forest and fire management purposes. BFOLDS 1.0 (Boreal Forest Landscape Dynamics Simulator) simulates forest fires and forest succession for large areas over long periods. Resulting fire regime simulations are emergent properties of many stochastic and spatially explicit model processes as well as user assumptions and input data. Here the authors demonstrate the use of BFOLDS in characterizing a forest fire regime, using a large boreal ecoregion as an example and readily available forest cover and spatial weather data as primary input.--Document.

"This bibliography includes a list and descriptions of the content of publications written or co-authored by staff of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources' Ontario Forest Research Institute between 2006 and 2010. During this five-year period, over 150 publications were produced by the institute's 14 research scientists, including a book, 83 journal articles, 31 reports, 10 technical notes, 5 newsletters, and 11 papers/summaries in conference/ workshop proceedings. The overall focus of the publications is forest resource management-related research and practice. Topical areas and scales of investigation are diverse and include natural disturbance regimes and landscape dynamics; carbon budgets and effects of climate change on forests; and silviculture studies on site preparation, tree improvement, vegetation management, growth and yield, disease management, and harvesting in conifer, mixedwood, and hardwood forests. Author and subject indexes are provided."--Document.
