Animals of the Arctic: The Ecology of the Far North

Rarely can a popularly oriented scientific text be described as accurate and beautiful: Dr. Stonelhouse's book is such a rarity. In the strict sense, this is not a text, for it does not catalog and describe in concise paragraphs each species and variant of flora and fauna existing in the Arctic and sub-Arctic areas; instead, it uses over 200 beautifully reproduced photograplhs to supplement the...

Fire and Avian Ecology in North America: Process Influencing Pattern

We summarize the fi ndings from 10 subsequent chapters that collectively review fi re and avian ecology across 40 North American ecosystems. We highlight patterns and future research topics that recur among the chapters. Vegetation types with long fi re-return intervals, such as boreal forests of Canada, forests at high elevations, and those in the humid Pacifi c Northwest, have experienced the...

Fire Ecology of Ground Vegetation in Pinus roxburghii Sargent Plantations in North-West Himalaya - Floristic Composition and Species Diversity

Effect of fire on phyto-sociology of understorey vegetation in chir pine forests of three different silvological characteristics was compared with pure grassland. 15 grasses, 1 sedge, 5 legumes and 21 non-legumes were recorded in the four study sites. Floristic composition gradually increased from June to August and then declined slowly by October in all the plots. Maximum number of species wa...
