Abstract
Evaluating the impacts of forest fire on the vegetation of sub-tropical Chir pine forest in district Mansehra, Pakistan
Highlights
The total area burnt by forest firesForest fires have numerous implications for in 1997 to 98 was about 14.4 million biological diversity
The effects of forest fire are more than tree damage; fire caused alterations in ecosystem which results in both relief and stress to plant and animal life [4]
Chir Pine (Pinus roxburghii) is the dominant species in these subtropical Pine forests, which is one of the most divergent and economically important plant species, providing valuable timber, fuel, resin and protect watersheds to sustain the water supply to millions residing in the Himalayan basin [8]
Summary
Forest fires have numerous implications for in 1997 to 98 was about 14.4 million biological diversity. At the global level they hectares and emits 41 million tons of carbon are major source of emitted carbon, dioxide while in South East Asia 4.66 contributing to global warming which might million hectares area burnt and 11 million lead to changes in biodiversity; while at tons of carbon dioxide produced [2]. From local and regional scale they reduce biomass. 1998 to 2002, forest fires damages stocks, alter the hydrological cycle with approximately 27.74 million hectares area consequent effects for marine ecosystems globally, in which 43 % area belongs to Asia [1]
