WL 767 - Fire and Ecosystems

This course is a broad treatment of how fire and ecosystems combine to form the landscapes that we see. Course material examines the contributions of climate, topography, weather, and fuels to the fire environment and how these factors influence wildland fire behavior. We will explore the interactions between ecological processes and fire regimes in ecosystem dynamics and the ways in which human land use and land management affect the outcomes.Cross-Listed: GSE/GEOG/BIOL 767Credits: 3
