Description
Because of the lack of reliable data on the extent of the impacts of vegetation fires and other biomass burning on the global environment, and because of the strong interdisciplinary nature of this issue, a Dahlem Workshop was convened to elaborate on a new multi- and interdisciplinary approach toward a global fire science. The workshop was based on 17 papers, prepared by 34 contributors from relevant sciences. The results of the discussions are laid down in four group reports jointly prepared by the workshop participants. This volume represents the first organized synthesis of global fire ecology and defines the most urgent problems to be tackled scientifically.
