Integrated fire management in tropical forests and open landscapes
View through CrossRef
This article provides a basis for understanding fireinduced processes, and for the need to develop adequate fire management concepts and implementation strategies, highlighting basic processes, phenomena and solutions. These are challenges for decision makers, while the complexity of interactions between land use and other human activities, tropical vegetation characteristics, climate and climate change may also mean that decision makers require expert assistance in capacity building for fire management at local and national levels.
