Fires in Kruger National Park, South Africa, August 2010.

Kruger National Park in South Africa is one of the field sites for work supported by the MacroSystems Biology award to Carla Staver from Yale University. The project will use observational and experimental approaches to study fire extinction in three regions around the world and incorporate these data into fire-spread models and ultimately into macro-scale Earth system models.
