Fire’s Effects on Grassland Restoration and Biodiversity Conservation

Ecosystem succession and biodiversity change associated with grassland fires are crucial for the patterns and dynamics of ecosystem functioning and services. The reactions to fire by different grassland types vary diversely, and are determined by certain species assemblages and environments. However...
