The study of how fire affects an ecosystem. Periodic fires improve habitat diversity and forage for many animals. In fact, some animals live specifically in recently burned areas.

when ecology gets lost when ecology gets lost
The gates of ecology is a text book of ecology that introduces the learners to the subject of ecology.
Branches of ecology include population ecology (study of how populations of organisms interact with their environment), community ecology (study of interactions between species in a given area), ecosystem ecology (study of the flow of energy and matter through ecosystems), and conservation ecology (study of how to protect and preserve biodiversity).
The most usual cause of fire in the Florida Everglades is a lighting strike. Because the Florida Everglades is an obvious example of a fire ecology, and its continued existence depends on fire, and the effects are well studied, the Florida Everglades is a good place to start when thinking about fire and its effect on our environment.

Some recommended wildland fire books for learning about fire behavior and management strategies include "Fire Behavior and Fuels" by National Wildfire Coordinating Group, "Introduction to Wildland Fire" by P. N. Omi and "Wildland Fire Behavior: Fire Management and Ecology" by Mark A. Finney.
