  • A Summary of Recent Research at Glen Tanar Estate, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
    International Forest Fire News (IFFN) No. 30 (January – June 2004, 84-93) Prescribed Fire in a Scottish Pinewood: a Summary of Recent Research at Glen Tanar Estate, Aberdeenshire, Scotland Summary The role of natural disturbance in maintaining important ecological processes in natural Scots Pine woodland is becoming increasingly recognised. With increasing pressure to secure the future of pinewood species such as the Capercaillie (Tetrao urugallis), it has become necessary to develop innovative management techniques to manipulate habitat conditions in the absence of browsing pressure. The use of prescribed fire is one of the most promising such management techniques, and is widely used for resource management in similar ecosystems in North America and Australia. Preliminary research conducted at Glen Tanar Estate has demonstrated the potential benefits of prescribed burning, and has produced a number of useful insights to help shape the development of this technique in Scotland. Introduction The complex role of fire in the ecology of natural Scots’ pine forest is well documented for many parts of its extensive distribution (Goldammer and Furyaev 1996), where fire is accepted as an important natural factor in the maintenance of a mosaic of forest types at the landscape scale. In Scotland, however, fire has generally been ignored as an ecological variable even though it has potentially positive attributes. This is presumably because the negative impacts of fire on native woodland have historically been very serious (Steven and Carlisle 1959) and there is an understandable fear of wildfire and its risks to person and property. Also the likelihood of fire occurring and its consequent ecological importance as a disturbance event is easily overlooked the oceanic climate of the United Kingdom.
