中文简介:
本课程探讨火在生态系统中作为自然干扰的作用。它介绍了火情的概念及其对易发生火灾的生态系统中生物的类型和分布的影响。它还研究了在这些生态系统中进化的植物的一些适应性,以及动物如何避免或利用火灾作为自然干扰的后果。最后,本书探讨了火灾如何通过在生态系统内形成栖息地的马赛克来增加生物多样性,并简要介绍了气候变化和全球变暖对火灾强度和频率的一些后果。
课程简介: This course explores the role of fire as a natural disturbance in ecosystems. It introduces the concept of a fire regime and its influence on the type and distribution of organisms that occur in fire prone ecosystems. It also looks at some of the adaptations of plants that have evolved in these ecosystems and how animals either avoid or exploit the consequences of fire as a natural disturbance. Finally it examines how fire can increase biodiversity by generating a mosaic of habitats within an ecosystem and briefly addresses some of the consequences of climate change and global warming on the intensity and frequency of fires.
