The ecological importance of mixed-severity fires : nature's Phoenix / edited by Dominick A. DellaSala, Chad T. Hanson.
The Ecological Importance of High-Severity Fires, presents information on the current paradigm shift in the way people think about wildfire and ecosystems. While much of the current forest management in fire-adapted ecosystems, especially forests, is focused on fire prevention and suppression, littl...
