since 1788.This paper integrates ethnographic history and archaeology with geography, soil science and ecology in order to set Gammage's model against a particular ecological zone - the dense River-flat Forests that once lined Dyarubbin, the Hawkesbury-Nepean River in New South Wales, Australia. ...
The International Journal of Wildland Fire had the maximum share in published articles among scientific journals, followed by Forest Ecology and Management, Forests, Science of The Total Environment, and Remote Sensing. A variety of aspects of forest fire research have been covered, such as data-...
In induced tropical savannas, the fire regime plays a major role in maintaining an intermediate tree cover between a closed forest and open pasture (Kennedy and Horn, 2008, Moreira, 2000). An open tree canopy and abundant grass cover in the understory may increase the risk of fire (Cochrane...

Our study deals with human-wildlife conflicts in the Namibian component of the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA). The study reconstructs the historical occurrence of selected mammal species and adopts a socio-ecological approach
Research has consistently linked deforestation with the emergence of infectious diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease. For example, deforestation in the Amazon rainforest is correlated with an increase in malaria cases due to the creation of breeding grounds for Anopheles ...

Remnant forest fragments are critical to conserve biological diversity yet these are lost rapidly in areas under agricultural expansion. Conservation planning and policy require a deeper understanding of the psycho-social factors influencing landholders’ intentions towards conserving forest fragments. We surv...
