Description
Practitioners plan burns in space and time to produce heterogeneity rather than uniform treatment. Monitoring tracks fuel, biodiversity and later fire behavior.
Patch mosaics must reflect local ecology and cultural governance. A geometric pattern imposed without those conditions can cause harm.
