After the fires : the ecology of change in Yellowstone National Park

After the fires : the ecology of change in Yellowstone National Park / edited by Linda L. Wallace.

In 1988 Yellowstone National Park suffered a serious outbreak of fires, a phenomenon that allowed scientists to study changes in the ecology of the area as it adapted to & recovered from the impact of catastrophe. This volume details research findings during the ensuing 16 years.
