Drivers of wildland fire behaviour variation across the Earth
(Univ Coimbra, 2018-01-01)
Fire behaviour characteristics define the impacts on society and the environment. While wildland fire science has expanded to include the analysis of fire activity and effects across the globe, an understanding of global ...
Fire frequency affects fire behavior in open savannas of the Cerrado
(2021-02-15)
Fire is an environmental factor that helps in shaping plant communities by influencing their structure and function. Frequency is an important component of the fire regime. In tropical savannas, fire frequency is high, ...
A field perspective on effects of fire and temperature fluctuation on Cerrado legume seeds
(2017-06-01)
Information from a field perspective on temperature thresholds related to physical dormancy (PY) alleviation and seed resistance to high temperatures of fire is crucial to disentangle fire- and non-fire-related germination ...
How do the wets burn? Fire behavior and intensity in wet grasslands in the Brazilian savanna
(2017-03-01)
Although wetlands are commonly managed with fire by local communities and managers in tropical savannas, little is known about fire behavior in these ecosystems. We measured fire intensity and temperature in 13 experimental ...
Probability of surface fire spread in Brazilian rainforest fuels from outdoor experimental measurements
(2017-04-01)
This paper describes the development of a logistic model to predict the probability of surface fire spread in Brazilian rainforest fuels from outdoor experimental measurements. Surface fires spread over litter composed ...
FIRE INTENSITY AND SEVERITY IN BRAZILIAN CAMPOS GRASSLANDS
(INTERCIENCIA, 2010)
Brazilian Campos grasslands are rich in species and the maintenance of its diversity and physiognomy is dependent on disturbance (e.g. fire and grazing) Nevertheless, studies about fire intensity and severity are inexistent. ...
Could Fire Severity Promotes the Biosynthesis of Bioactive Compounds as a Strategy to Improve Plant Survival?
(MDPI, 2021-11)
Fire has effects on diverse aspects of plant functioning and development, many of themlinked to survival. However, the response of native vegetation to this disturbance possibly revealsa plant strategy to tolerate fire ...
Does Fire Trigger Seed Germination in the Neotropical Savannas? Experimental Tests with Six Cerrado Species
(2016-03-01)
The Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) is a biodiversity hotspot with a history of fire that goes back as far as 10 million years. Fire has influenced the evolution of several aspects of the vegetation, including reproduction and ...
Fire temperature effects on perennial grasses from northwestern Patagonian grasslands
(Springer Tokyo, 2015-01)
Post-fire recovery of perennial plants depends on their capacity to regrow from surviving meristems. Plants are adapted to a particular fire regime, which can be altered by human activities and climatic change. Therefore, ...
Does fire affect the temporal pattern of trophic resource supply to pollinators and seed-dispersing frugivores in a Brazilian savanna community?
(2017-03-01)
In tropical savannas, such as the campo cerrado in Brazil, fire plays an important role, affecting plant species’ life history. Since fire has the potential to modify the structure of savanna communities as a whole, it is ...
