Response of hardwood tree regeneration to surface fires, western Chaco region, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2014-05)
We assessed the response of seedlings and pole-sized individuals of Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco Schlecht., Schinopsis lorentzii (Griseb.) Engler and Ziziphus mistol Griseb. to surface fires. We assessed traits of fire ...
Changes in tree species richness, stand structure and soil properties in a successional chronosequence in northern Chiloé Island, Chile
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2002)
We studied a chronosequence of forest fragments in northern Chiloé Island, southern Chile, with the aim of assessing ecosystem recovery patterns following anthropogenic disturbance. Hypotheses regarding successional trends ...
Post-burning regeneration of the Chaco seasonally dry forest: germination response of dominant species to experimental heat shock
(Springer, 2015-03)
Plant species of the Chaco seasonally dry forestof central Argentina have presumably been under a lowevolutionary pressure to develop specialized fire-responsetraits, such as heat-stimulated germination. Nevertheless,other ...
Fire and legume germination in a tropical savanna: ecological and historical factors
(2019-07-08)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In many flammable ecosystems, physically dormant seeds show dormancy-break patterns tied to fire, but the link between heat shock and germination in the tropical savannas of Africa and South America ...

Fire cues and germination of invasive and native grasses in the Cerrado
(Soc Botanica Brasil, 2020-01-01)
Fire-related cues may enhance seed recruitment in flammable ecosystems and differences in fire-germination responses of invasive vs. native species can drive the invasion process. We evaluated the effects of heat shock and ...
Mabea dalyana (Euphorbiaceae-Hippomaneae): a new subshrub with xylopodia endemic to the savannas of the Brazilian Amazon
(2022-01-01)
During fieldwork in the Campos Amazônicos National Park, Amazonas state, Brazil, a new endemic species of Mabea was collected in savanna areas. Field collections and specimens in RON, MG, and HRCB were analyzed. To understand ...
Are wildfires affecting seed germination in cactus? An experimental assessment
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-03-11)
Cacti are conspicuous plants across arid and semi-arid ecosystems of the American continent and are currently under threat due to human pressures, such as habitat loss, illegal collection and changes in fire regimes. ...
Alterations following a fire in a forest community of Alto Rio Xingu
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-10-03)
This study records the consequences of fire upon the soil and structure of the Amazonian Forest of Gaucha do Norte, Mato Grosso state, Brazil (13degrees12'S and 53degrees20'W). For this, the number of individuals sampled ...
