Fire Ecology Across Boundaries

Fire Across Boundaries

Edited by Anne Ganteaume, Núria Prat-Guitart, Francisco Seijo, Guillermo Defossé

This Fire Ecology special collection will include a selection of the communications presented at the Fire Ecology Across Boundaries: Connecting Science and Management conference to be held in Florence, Italy on October 4 - 7, 2022. The conference is co-hosted by the Association for Fire Ecology and the Pau Costa Foundation in partnership with the University of Florence and Regione Toscana.

The papers will represent topics associated with the conference's main theme and focus: the connection of fire ecology research and management across geographic and disciplinary boundaries. Other papers on the topic will also be invited.
