Introduction: 1. Mediterranean-type climate ecosystems and fire; 2. Fire and the fire regime framework; 3. Fire related plant traits -- Section II. Regional Patterns: 4. Fire in the Mediterranean basin; 5. Fire in California; 6. Fire in Chile; 7. Fire in the Cape region of South Africa; 8. Fire in southern Australia -- Section III. Comparative Ecology, Evolution and Management: 9. Fire-adaptive trait evolution; 10. Fire and the origins of Mediterranean-type vegetation; 11. Plant diversity and fire; 12. Alien species and fire; 13. Fire management of Mediterranean landscapes; 14. Climate, fire and geology in the convergence of Mediterranean-type climate ecosystems.Exploring the role of fire in each of the five Mediterranean-type climate ecosystems, this book offers a unique view of the evolution of fire-adapted traits and the role of fire in shaping Earth's ecosystems. Analyzing these geographically separate but ecologically convergent ecosystems provides key tools for understanding fire regime diversity and its role in the assembly and evolutionary convergence of ecosystems. Topics covered include regional patterns, the ecological role of wildfires, the evolution of species within those systems, and the ways in which societies have adapted to living in fire-prone environments. Outlining complex processes clearly and methodically, the discussion challenges the belief that climate and soils alone can explain the global distribution and assembly of plant communities. An ideal research tool for graduates and researchers, this study provides valuable insights into fire management and the requirements for regionally tailored approaches to fire management across the globe.Fire ecologyMediterranean-type ecosystemsPlantsEffect of fires onFire ecology.Mediterranean-type ecosystems.PlantsEffect of fires on.577.3/824Keeley Jon E.1035704UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910461498303321Fire in Mediterranean ecosystems2455546UNINA02361nam 2200601 450 991078818880332120210311111955.01-350-22323-91-78360-431-X1-78360-430-110.5040/9781350223233(CKB)2670000000594053(MiAaPQ)EBC1953289(OCoLC)905864048(CaBNVSL)9781350223233(Au-PeEL)EBL1953289(CaPaEBR)ebr11017483(CaONFJC)MIL726280(OCoLC)903858439(EXLCZ)99267000000059405320210311h20212015 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Lords of human kind European attitudes to other cultures in the imperial age /Victor Kiernan with a foreword by John Trumpbour ; tribute to Victor Kiernan by Eric HobsbawmLondon, England :Zed Books,2015.[London, England] :Bloomsbury Publishing,20211 online resource (394 pages)Critique Influence Change ;10Includes index.1-78360-429-8 1-322-94998-0 AnnotationWhen European explorers went out into the world to open up trade routes and establish colonies they brought back much more than silks and spices, cotton and tea. Inevitably, they also brought back impressions of the people with whom they came into contact - impressions that, while occasionally admiring, were more often hostile or contemptuous. First published in 1969, and a major influence on a generation of historians and cultural critics, 'The Lords of Human Kind' reveals the full range of those responses.Critique, influence, change ;10.Indigenous peoplesColoniesGeneral & world historybicsscIndigenous peoples.Colonies.General & world history325.34Kiernan Victor125074Trumpbour JohnHobsbawm EricE7BCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910788188803321The Lords of human kind3687236UNINA
