Short term
... In short term, negative effects are usually for the reduction of food resources. In medium and long term, fire has a positive effect on most species because there is an increase in productivity after fire. Few animals in this study depend on climax communities, an example is the caribou (Rangifer ta ...

Extinction and Biodiversity Loss

Some species of fish, for example, are facing extinction because of overfishing. Likewise much of the Siberian tiger’ ...
