Prediction of forest parameters and carbon accounting under different fire regimes in Miombo woodlands, Niassa Special Reserve, Northern Mozambique

N. S. Ribeiro et al.

Summary: Miombo woodlands are the most extensive dry forest type in southern Africa, covering approximately 1.9 million km(2) across seven countries. Fire, a key ecosystem process in miombo woodlands, influences the ecosystem's ability to mitigate climate change. Altering fire regimes can improve habitat quality, promote resilience to climate change, and create local employment opportunities. The FORMIND model effectively reproduces field inventory data, indicating its potential to enhance carbon accounting standards.

A review of fire management practices in African savanna-protected areas

Willem A. Nieman et al.

Summary: This article reviews the goals and approaches of fire management practices in African savanna-protected areas, and finds that fire management has evolved in response to changing ecological understanding and protected area goals. Different sites within larger protected areas may have varying fire management practices to achieve a range of goals.
