Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to teach the ecological and biological effects of vegetation fires.
Course Content
The characteristics of fires, fire reasons, fire types, prescribed burning; effects on the soil moisture, texture, microclimate, productivity and chemical composition (e.g. acidity, organic matter, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, minor elements) by the fires; effects on living organisms (e.g. primitive plants, parasites, bacteria, invertebrates, vertebrates, plant species and plant formations) by the fires.
