Pyrodiversity

Pyrodiversity refers to the variety and distribution of fire occurrences within a landscape, creating different fire regimes such as varying intensities, frequencies, and timings. This diversity influences the structure and composition of ecosystems, promoting a wide range of habitats. By maintaining different fire patterns, pyrodiversity supports diverse plant and animal communities, enhances ecological resilience, and sustains overall biodiversity. In essence, a mosaic of varying fire effects helps ecosystems adapt and thrive, highlighting fire's role as both a natural process and a tool for ecosystem management.
