RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The Use Of Fire In Right-of-Way Maintenance JF Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO JOA FD International Society of Arboriculture SP 93 OP 96 DO 10.48044/jauf.1979.023 VO 5 IS 4 A1 Dale H. Arner YR 1979 UL http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/5/4/93.abstract AB Prescribed burning as a maintenance technique on utility line rights-of-way (ROW) has largely been ignored. Research at Mississippi State University has shown that on ROW in extensively forested areas where plowing of fire lanes is feasible, fire can be economically competitive with those maintenance techniques now in common use. Plant communities of high value to upland game animals have been developed and maintained by fire on ROW in Alabama and Mississippi.
