Does pyrodiversity really promote biodiversity? Local knowledge is important when managing fire for plant and animal conservation. An article from the Ecological Society of Australia notes:

Some studies show that more plant and animal species live in landscapes with a high diversity of fire histories, while others show no such relationship.
The variation in fire regimes that will promote plant and animal conservation depends on the type of ecosystem.
Fire management will be most effective when it is guided by local knowledge of plants, animals and and the habitats they depend on.
