That's exactly right.
I am an ecological modeller, so I work on simulating and forecasting landscape conditions and landscape changes in the boreal forests. Currently the groups I'm working with are engaged in looking at exactly those things you mentioned: that intersection between fire, the vegetation dynamics and the succession processes involved in regenerating the forest, and also insect outbreaks—mountain pine beetle, in particular—and then looking at addressing those other outcomes on caribou and other wildlife. We're definitely taking an integrated approach to that problem.
