Authors:
- Unites and places equal weight on the aspects of fire ecology and forest management
- Bridges the gap on how physiological ecology can inform management with regards to forest fires
- Useful to a broad audience like students, disturbance ecologists and forest managers and aims to accomplish this by providing information for all these different levels

About this book
This innovation in this study lies in its focus on the physiological responses of plants that are of relevance for predicting forest fire risk, behaviour and management. It covers the evolutionary trade-offs in the resistance of plants to fire and drought, and its implications for predicting fuel moisture and fire risk; the importance of floristics and plant traits, in interaction with landform and atmospheric conditions, to successfully predict fire behaviour, and provides recommendations for pre- and post- fire management, in relation with the functional composition of the community. The book will be particularly focused on examples from Mediterranean environments, but the underlying principles will be of broader utility.
