FIRES IN TROPICAL DECIDUOUS FOREST, CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES : A STUDY FROM THANE DISTRICT OF MAHARASHTRA
Creators
Description
In our country forest fires are not studied scientifically on large scale. Some attempts are made
by Forest Officers, FSI and some NGO’s on micro scale. Given the scale at which forest fires occur
in India, their impact on the vegetation, and also given the large gap between the legal framework and
the actual practices of local forest management, we think it would be timely to study the matter in
greater depth at the regional level. There is need to study the theoretical relations surrounding fires
with scientific methodology to discover ways of directing fire application and therefore the supply of
ecosystem services. This includes understanding forest vegetation dynamics in relation to the fire
regime, the role fire plays in the provision of ecosystem services, and the social background behind
fire applications.
