Mixed Severity Fires: Nature’s Phoenix

Autor Dominick A. DellaSala, Chad Hanson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iun 2024
Mixed Severity Fires: Nature’s Phoenix, Second Edition focuses on wildfire as a keystone ecological process that has shaped plant and animal communities for over 400 million years. The book describes the renewal process that follows wildfires in forests and chaparral ecosystems as nature’s phoenix by drawing from examples of wildfire effects. In addition, the book describes management and policies that have contributed to wildfire problems, including climate change and land-use practices incompatible with nature’s phoenix and what must happen to get to coexistence with wildfires that are not going away no matter how much we try to suppress or alter fire behavior.

  • Comprehensive and complete reference on wildfire ecology that includes the latest science and citations
  • Debunks debates on wildfire management that can be used by conservation groups and decision-makers to shift egregious wildfire policies
  • Contains a broad synthesis of the ecology of mixed- and high-severity fires, covering such topics as vegetation, birds, mammals, insects, aquatics, and management actions
