Fire is a major driver for rangeland vegetation communities. Current fire models can predict many fire physics questions such as fire duration, intensity, frequency, probability, and other physics bases question; however, these models do not answer questions about the ecological responses of vegetation needed for designing prescribed fire for rangeland management. To answer management questions a fire management model must operate at the management scale and relate to burning prescriptions. This model predicts woody vegetation canopy cover response to different prescribed fire management strategies at a management scale to achieve desired vegetation changes.
