Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Predicting the Effect of Fire on Large-Scale Vegetation Patterns in North America
Ecological considerations provide constraints on the vegetation transitions produced by these reductions of lai, and additional insight into successional dynamics and changes in species composition. For example, fire can cause changes in the domi nant plant phenology or leaf type in a biome without obligatory changes in lal. Under standing how ecological effects preset the initial conditions to which fire behavior models are applied will be a key step in integrating biotic and abiotic processes, to effectively model the mechanisms of change at the biome scale.
