Natural Fire Disturbance of Forest Vegetation

Abstract

Abstract: The natural fire disturbance plays an important role in forest vegetation. The paper briefly reviewed the fields of concepts, characteristcs, regimes, history reconstructions, ecological effects and managements of natural fire disturbance of forest vegetation. Finally, further researches on natural fire management of forest were suggested. The integration of global positional system(GPS), remote sensing(RS), geographic information system(GIS)are important tools in study on the natural fire disturbance of forest landscape.

Key words: soil pollution, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, plant, ecophysiological mechanism.
