OBJECTIVE
We are dedicated to improving the knowledge of fire ecology and uses of fire in resilient landscape management.
VALUES AND BELIEFS
- Wildland fire is a critical ecological process in most ecoregions of the world.
- Global ecosystems and their fire regimes show long-term evolutionary relationships with fire.
- We foster a sense of belonging and respect for people representing different demographics, lifeways, disciplines, and professional roles.
- Land management and science benefit from including multiple perspectives and diverse teams of people.
WHAT IS FIRE ECOLOGY
Fire is one of the major shaping influences of global ecosystems, and most ecosystems have a very interesting history with fire, one that has changed a great deal in the modern era. Fire ecology is the study of fires and fire regimes in global forest, prairie, shrubland, chaparral, meadow, and savannah ecosystems. Fire ecologists study how changes in regime factors, like the frequency, severity, and extent of fires can provide favorable or damaging influences on ecosystems. They also study the interactions between fires and other ecological patterns and processes; how they work together or in conflict, to vary outcomes on the land
