RE: New research suggest that managed fires in the African savannah leads to increased species richness, and promote certain rare savannah species
Thanks for sharing this with us, @vanholio! I'm sort of surprised that I did not come across this information when I researched for this post.
But it really does make sense that smaller fires can have this type of effect. I'm definitely going to have to read up on some fire ecology to learn more about this.
Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
The history of managing fire is out there on the web. But I got the bit about how the heat if a fire is good or bad from a forest service biologist who's seen it all firsthand. I have yet to read anything that says the same. I'm sure it's in science journals, but that's not for me.
