Fire ecology is a term used to describe the relationship between fire and the ecosystem. It includes the study of fire behavior, the impacts of fire on flora and fauna, and the adaptations of ecosystems to fire. There are several synonyms for the term fire ecology, including pyroecology, fire biology, fire science, and fire management. Pyroecology is all about the study of fire as a natural and fundamental process of ecosystems. Fire biology concentrates on the ecological and evolutionary implications of fire. While fire science is a multi-disciplinary approach to the understanding of fire processes. Fire management, on the other hand, is the application of the principles of fire ecology and science to the management of fire for ecological and social benefits.
