This book provides the first comprehensive scientific summary of the actual response of the Yellowstone ecosystem to the fires. Written by experts in wildlife biology, ecosystem science, landscape ecology, and forest science, the book shows not only that many things changed after the fires (for ecological components of the system are interactive) but also that some things did not change. The largest effects of the fires were felt at the smallest scales, and the long-term devastation predicted did not come to pass. The resilience of this naturally functioning ecosystem to these huge fires has important lessons for heavily managed regions. 606 $aForest fires$zYellowstone National Park 606 $aForest fires$xEnvironmental aspects$zYellowstone National Park 606 $aFire ecology$zYellowstone National Park 607 $aYellowstone National Park 615 0$aForest fires 615 0$aForest fires$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aFire ecology 676 $a634.9/618/0978752 701 $aWallace$b Linda L.$f1951-2009.$01600482 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820304803321 996 $aAfter the fires$93923608 997 $aUNINA
