Ecology of Plant-Derived Smoke is the continuation of the research
and discussion presented in Uses & Abuses of Plant-Derived
Smoke, published in 2010. Both books are the first of their kind in
what is now an ever-expanding and exciting field of research. This
volume focuses on the use of plant-derived smoke as a tool, used
for promoting seed germination and growth. Our ancestors may have
used smoke in this capacity for centuries. Only recently has the
scientific community delved into understanding the ecology of smoke
as a seed dormancy-breaking mechanism in fire-prone environments.
Most research to date has focused on the fire-prone Mediterranean
environments of the western U.S.A., Western Australia and South
Africa. These environments are among the richest floristic regions
in the world, and require ecological understanding in order to be
managed properly. This includes knowledge of that role that smoke
plays in these ecosystems. Ecology of Plant Derived Smoke presents
accounts of 1355 species of plants, from 120 families, whose seed
have been tested for their response to aerosol smoke, smoke water,
and plant-derived smoke. Each account includes a short summary of
research findings, along with any other relevant information.
Ecology of Plant-Derived Smoke is a comprehensive resource for
ecologists seeking to understand the properties of smoke as they
relate to ecosystems.
