This is a stimulating tale of the interplay of observation,
experimentation, working hypotheses, tentative conclusions,
niggling and weightier doubts and great aspirations, on the part of
some score of students, on varied ecological and other aspects of
the regime and role of fire in relevant biomes and ecosystem-
mainly in South Africa - and on other pertinent features of fire
ecology. The impressive contents is a tribute to conveners and
authors alike. One can expect a profound range and depth
ofinvestigation and interpretation, a closeknit fabric of
knowledge, delicately interwoven with wisdom, an exposition and
quintessence of information. Admipable is the collective vision
responsible for selecting appropriate topics: the wide sweeps of
the brush picturing the nature of the biomes; ably describing the
fire regimes - whether in grassland, savanna, fynbos or forest;
skillfully defining the effects of such regimes - according to
ecosystem - upon aerial and edaphic factors of the habitat, upon
constituent biota, individually, specifically and as a biotic
community; elucidating the basic implications in the structure and
dynamics of the plant aspect of that community ... and unravelling
to some degree the tangled knot of the conservation and dissipation
of moisture and nutrients. Moreover, gratitude is owed for efforts
exerted to understand the interplay of fire and faunal behaviour
and dynamics as well as composition, together with the principle of
adaptive responses of organisms of diverse kinds.
