人种学研究已经证实，直到第二次世界大战后不久，[加拿大]阿尔伯塔省北部的印第安人还经常有系统地焚烧栖息地，以影响当地动植物资源的分布和相对丰富程度。与其他地区的狩猎采集者类似，这种烟火技术促成了一种整体的火焰马赛克，在这种情况下，这种火焰马赛克以前是北方北方森林的特征。这些做法与北美其他地区以及澳大利亚一些地区的做法进行了跨文化比较，说明了狩猎采集者使用栖息地火的方式在功能上是相似的，特别是在广泛分离和不同种类的生物区域中维护“火场”和“火走廊”。
Ethnographic studies have established that, until shortly after World War II, Indians in northern Alberta [Canada] regularly and systematically fired habitats to influence the local distribution and relative abundance of plant and animal resources. In ways similar to what has been reported for hunter-gatherers in other regions, this pyrotechnology contributed to an overall fire mosaic that, in this case, formerly characterized northern boreal forests. Cross-cultural comparisons of these practices with those in other parts of North America, as well as in several parts of Australia, illustrate functionally parallel strategies in the ways that hunter-gatherers employed habitat fires, specifically in the maintenance of "fire yards" and "fire corridors" in widely separated and different kinds of biological zones.
