Fire Ecology
These differences in northern fire behavior may lead to different climatic effects due to differences in atmospheric and albedo emissions, which may be related to forest formation and specific fire environments. Recent environmental research, however, has shown that fire is an important part of many ecosystem services and biodiversity and that living things in these communities have become accustomed to withstanding any period of natural fire. The new concept of organizational fire policy is in line with environmental progress and leads to the notion that many ecosystems are dependent on undermining their diversity and maintaining their natural processes.
