It will do so by: (a) Examining the concept of fire residuals from different perspectives, (b) Reviewing the growing body of scientific literature on the topic, (c) Conceptualizing the process of residual formation in relation to scale of fire disturbance, (d) Discussing the roles of fire residuals in ecological processes, (e) Describing approaches and methods of studying fire residuals, (f) Compiling and summarizing what is known about fire residual vegetation with respect t 606 $aFire ecology 606 $aTaiga ecology 615 0$aFire ecology. 615 0$aTaiga ecology. 676 $a577.2/4 700 $aPerera$b Ajith H.$0935662 702 $aBuse$b Lisa J$g(Lisa Jean),$f1962- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825166003321 996 $aEcology of wildfire residuals in boreal forests$93922259 997 $aUNINA
