- Title
Driving Forces for Conserving Dynamic Landscapes.
- Authors
Valkó, Orsolya
- Abstract
Pyne claims fire is an ecological force that binds the pieces of prairie ecosystems together and allows proper ecosystem functioning. The original grazing-burning interactions that shaped the structure and species composition of the prairies acted on large and continuous areas (see the fire-grazing model by Fuhlendorf and Engle [[3]]). The prairies were the cradles of national parks, and even the concept of ecosystems ecology originated from prairie bogs.
