How many results did you get this time?

 

BioOne Practice

Only that many results?  Hmmm...  perhaps we should try an additional term with prescribed burns.

Which of the following appear to be a alternative term for burns?

BioOne Practice

Let's use the term fire as an additional term with prescribed burns.

Go therefore In the Abstract: box, modify your search so it looks like this:

prairie restoration AND (prescribed burns OR fire)

Using the word OR will find all records that contain either one of the specified search terms. Typically this will broaden the search results.

Our final searching tip is to:

Use limits to focus search results.

In BioOne you can limit by content access and date range.

Go therefore Use the "Refine By" section to include resources published in 2009 or later.
