RE: New research suggest that managed fires in the African savannah leads to increased species richness, and promote certain rare savannah species
So if we do man made fires would this have the same benefit or would it be the same as the concept behind crop rotations which if sone wrong actually harms the ecosystem.
As for the African savannahs, the fires have always been man-made, but the rate has been declining in recent times. But I suppose you are correct; we should make it as close to the original fires as possible if we ever want to use this as a conservation tool.
