註釋This paper, intended as part of a series to provide the context for Canadian Forest Service research programs, examines the issues surrounding fire management & research and explains why the Service & its partners invests in research pertaining to forest fire prediction, monitoring, management, modelling, and ecology. The first section reviews information on what forest fire is, how it starts, fire behaviour & control, and the relationship among fire and climate change and vegetation. This is followed by discussion on the need for forest fire information, with reference to biodiversity, sustainable forest management, and climate change. The final section outlines emerging issues requiring research.
