Wildfires in Chile: A review
(Elsevier, 2016)
This paper reviews the literature examining the wildfire phenomenon in Chile. Since ancient times, Chile's wildfires have shaped the country's landscape, but today, as in many other parts of the world, the fire regime - ...
A 55-year-old natural experiment gives evidence of the effects of changes in fire frequency on ecosystem properties in a seasonal subtropical dry forest
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2019-02)
Fire frequency has been highlighted as an important component of fire effects on ecosystems; nevertheless, there is scarce information about how fire modulates changes in ecosystem properties, particularly for subtropical ...
Increased canopy seed-storage in post-fire pine invaders suggests rapid selection mediated by fire
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2020-04)
Exotic species storing seeds in the canopy (serotinous species) can experience a clear advantage in fire-prone communities that lack native taxa with such fire-resistant traits. In addition, selection in the new environment ...
Human-climate interactions shape fire regimes in the Cerrado of São Paulo state, Brazil
(2021-06-01)
The Cerrado is the most diverse tropical savanna in the world. As a fire-prone ecosystem, natural fire in the Cerrado shapes plant communities and drives evolutionary processes. Human activities and landscape management ...
Fire regime, climate, and vegetation in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina
(Association for Fire Ecology, 2015-06)
Wildfires are a primary disturbance in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina,with approximately 2152000 ha burned between 1993 and 2012. However,little is known about the spatial and temporal patterns of fires and theirrelationship ...
Fire and herbivory shape belowground bud banks in a semi-arid African savanna
(2022-01-01)
Fire and herbivory are major drivers in tropical savanna ecosystems and they selected a flora composed of species able to cope with recurrent aboveground biomass removal. Renewal of the herbaceous stratum is made possible ...
Potential conditions for fire occurrence in vegetation in the Peruvian Andes
(CSIRO Publishing, 2021-10-12)
Fire activity in the Peruvian Andes has increased significantly in recent decades, but climatic parameters associated with drought, which may indirectly contribute to the occurrence of severe forest fires, have not yet ...
Ground layer Cerrado plants sustain higher maximum photosynthetic rates after medium-term fire events
(2021-12-01)
Fire is one of the most important factors driving community assembly and ecosystem functioning in tropical savannas. However, few studies have evaluated the physiological responses of ground layer plant communities to fire ...
Changes in vegetation structure and fuel characteristics along post-fire succession promote alternative stable states and positive fire–vegetation feedbacks
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03)
Aims: Structural and compositional changes along post-fire succession modify plant community proneness to burn (flammability). The dominant regeneration strategies and life forms, and their interactions along post-fire ...
Seed Pubescence and Shape Modulate Adaptive Responses to Fire Cues
(Public Library Science, 2016)
Post-fire recruitment by seeds is regarded as an adaptive response in fire-prone ecosystems. Nevertheless, little is known about which heritable seed traits are functional to the main signals of fire (heat and smoke), thus ...
