Ecology of fire-dependent ecosystems : Wildland fire science, policy, and management

Summary: "This textbook for upper-level courses in fire ecology and wildland fire management will help students design and conduct robust wildland fire research projects and critically interpret and apply fire science in any management, education, or policy situation. It emphasises variability in wildland fire as an ecological regime and provides tools for students, researchers and managers to assess and connect fire environment and fire behaviour to fire effects. It reviews literature, synthesises concepts, and identifies research gaps and policy needs. The book also demonstrates how fire policy can adapt to cultural and socio-ecological objectives"--
