Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The occurrence of fires in many types of woodland and forested environments can benefit human populations in several different ways. The human groups become more mobile, and the quantity and nutritional quality of the food supplies to herbivorous animals increases not only the environmental carrying capacity but also the relative growth rates and reproductive rates of the animals. The adoption of systematic burning strategies by hunting groups may have led to man-animal relationships much like those of traditional herding economies. Au(abr) |
