Fire in research natural areas in the forest service
Research natural areas (RNA) in the USDA Forest Service are established to preserve a representative array of all significant natural ecosystems and their inherent processes. They are to be used to obtain information about natural system components, inherent processes, and comparisons with representative manipulated systems. Flexibility in protection and management is permitted to meet local situations, but manipulations, but manipulative practices are generally not used. The quandry is whether to strive for preserving natural vegetative conditions or to permit natural processes to function. Inasmuch as the role of fire varies in RNA's flexibility is permitted. Management practices should be documented in the establishment report ;or in a management plan following establishment.
