Fire regime of the Kruger National Park for the period 1980 -1992 by W.S.W. Trollope

“…The data showed that anthropogenic fires were the most common fires and evidence on a global scale would suggest that the status quo will be maintained even if controlled burning is discontinued as is currently being considered by the National Parks Board. …”

Evaluation pastorale des savanes du ranch de Kolo (Bas-Zaïre) by Renard, JF., Frère, P., Lecomte, P.

“…The pasture management (rotation on 5 plots) and the stocking rate used (2.5 LSU) are established in accordance with the constraints issued from the measurements of the productivity and the nuthtional value of the grass regrowth taken after the controlled burning of the plots. For this type of extensive rearing, the estimated average stocking rate seems to be carried out starting by the average of grass regrowth after burning during the dry season. …”

Strength Performance of Concrete Using Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM) by Dahlia Patah, Amry Dasar

“…The sample was directly collected from the rice field after the natural combusting process without additional treatment, controlled burning temperature, or time. RHA was used as an admixture for cement substitute and the mechanical characteristics were evaluated using a cylindrical concrete specimen made with 100-mm diameter and 200-mm height. …”
