Fire as an Ecological Factor

  • Chapter
Physiological Plant Ecology I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((920,volume 12 / A))

Abstract

The subject of fire as an ecological factor is an exceedingly broad and complex one. The literature on fire in nature currently numbers hundreds of papers annually and seems to be growing at an exponential rate. It is certainly impossible to compress even a small amount of the available literature on aspects of fire as an ecological factor into a review of this size. For this reason this chapter will emphasize the effects of fire on ecosystem properties that are important for plant growth and development and on the influence of fire on growth and reproductive characteristics of plants. The final portion of the chapter will very briefly discuss the role of fire as an ecological factor in four major types of ecosystems — coniferous forests, grasslands, mediterranean-climate shrub and related shrublands and tropical forests.
