Book Description:
It is almost dogma that the boreal forest in North America is a fire dependent forest, yet ecologists often do not consider in any technical detail how forest fires affect individual plants and plant populations. This text sets out to correct this deficiency by assembling the relevant studies.
Learned and Concise:
This slender volume provides a concise explanation of the topics most important to understanding the role of fire in shaping the boreal forest: climate, combustion, the forest floor and other fuels, landscape patterns, and forest regeneration. While fairly technical, the numerous diagrams and graphs allow the reader to understand the mechanics of fire behavior and to interrelate and apply the concepts.
