Overview

Excerpt from Plant Succession on Burned Chaparral Lands in Northern California A broad and comprehensive understanding of the problems involved in brush control requires research in a number of sciences, including agrostology, silviculture, botany, geophysics, hydrology, soil physics, animal nutrition, and economics, as Well as knowledge of many administrative practices, involving public and private land use, wildlife and forest management, fire prevention and control, forage production, water conservation, and soil-erosion control. For this reason I have encouraged especially qualified investigators of the College of Agriculture to study carefully the methods and results of brush burning over a number of years. In order to assure the broadest possible approach to these studies, I set up in the College of Agriculture in 1933 a standing Committee on Range Management, consisting of nine investigators with. Special knowledge in the fields of agricultural economics, agronomy, animal husbandry, irrigation engineering, forestry, soil technology, and zool ogy. Among the studies which the Committee has already undertaken are some dealing with the e ect of brush burning on runoff and soil erosion, silting of streams and reservoirs, water penetration and water-holding capacity of soils, and the ultimate vegetative succession. The findings of these studies will be reported by the College of Agriculture from time to time as evidence is accumulated.
