Abstract

For many reasons modern habitat management means to keep parts of the landscape in certain successional stages. Besides mowing, grazing or chemical means, controlled fire is a cheap natural management factor. The effects of controlled burning depend on different abiotic factors and on the kind of fire (headfire, backfire, spotfire, etc.). Due to wide range scientific studies in other countries there exist thousands of publications dealing with fire effects on animals, plants and soil. There is enough background to study and to practice controlled fire to manage different regions of western Germany.
