The following bibliography does not intend to provide an all-embracing list of sources. Rather it aims to facilitate the search for literature on fire ecology, history, management and related fields such as atmospheric chemistry, climatology and remote sensing. The list includes major monographs, sourcebooks and several peer-reviewed journal publications, with references to a broad secondary literature, and well as Internet portals facilitating a literature search.
