Drawing on extensive field research and compelling storytelling, Hutto uncovers one of nature?s best-kept secrets: numerous species?including the black-backed woodpecker and the morel mushroom?thrive in conditions created only by intense wildfires. These and many other fire-dependent organisms have evolved to flourish in charred landscapes, a fact often overlooked by birdwatchers, land managers, and even fire researchers. Blending science, fieldwork, and reflections from a lifelong career, this book has the potential to transform how we perceive forest fires. It offers a fresh perspective on fire?s role in maintaining biodiversity and invites readers to consider how revised land management practices could benefit both industry and the environment. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is ideal for birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts, fire managers, and anyone curious about the true role of fire in our ecosystems. 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aForests and forestry 606 $aFire ecology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aAnimal culture 606 $aForestry 606 $aFire Ecology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aAnimal Science 615 0$aForests and forestry. 615 0$aFire ecology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aAnimal culture. 615 14$aForestry. 615 24$aFire Ecology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aAnimal Science. 676 $a634.9 676 $a577.3 700 $aHutto$b Richard L$01845488 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911022164603321 996 $aA Beautifully Burned Forest$94429305 997 $aUNINA
