A study of the action of wild fires on remote forests

Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 1976, vol. 4, issue 2, 187-202

Abstract: A stochastic model is developed to describe interaction of fires and vegetation in remote forest regions to demonstrate that, given certain circumstances, fires have a dominant effect on the long term, as well as the short term, forest structure. The model describes interactions peculiar to rainforest regions of Tasmania, Australia, but can be adapted to any situation where a similar dependence of vegetation on fires exists.
