Seminar Four
Adaptive management to wildfire risk: implications for ecosystem services of UK moorlands and heaths
Peak District National Park, June 2009
Heather management by cutting.
Management will need to respond to climate drivers, changing ecosystem vulnerability and human ignition sources. This seminar will identify alternative physical interventions for managing wildfire risk, including fire-fighting techniques and discuss their relative costs and benefits for ecosystem services. Political and institutional policy drivers will be discussed, including the role of national and international policies which may impact on fire risk by changing rural land use or level of visitor use. Potential conflicts between fire risk management and other environmental legislation will also be discussed.
