Explores the effects of wildfires on land, water, vegetation, wildlife, and humans
Across the world, wildfires are increasing in frequency, extent, and severity, driven by changes in land use and climate. After the immediate hazards of fire and smoke have passed, landscapes and ecosystems can be left altered for decades.
Landscapes on Fire: Impacts on Uplands, Rivers, and Communities presents an overview of wildfires and their after-effects on different parts of the natural, biological, and human landscape, bringing together perspectives from different disciplines.
Volume highlights include:
- Causes, mechanics, and patterns of wildfire
- Effects of fire on uplands and river networks
- Predicting and mitigating fire-related hazards
- Projected trends in wildfire patterns and effects due to climate change
- Case studies from across the world
