And after fire, the Cerrado flowers: A review of post-fire flowering in a tropical savanna
(2021-07-01)
Post-fire flowering is a fire-adaptive trait that is underused in fire ecology literature to describe plant responses to fire. Most of the species described so far as having this strategy occur in mediterranean vegetation, ...
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 ...
Determining response times for the deployment of terrestrial resources for fighting forest fires. A case study: Mediterranean - Chile
(PUC, 2015)
A study of response times for the arrival of terrestrial forest fire fighting resources was undertaken. The advantage of the method proposed here is that it may be exactly replicated in different countries and under different ...
The diversity of post-fire regeneration strategies in the cerrado ground layer
(2020-01-01)
Disentangling species strategies that confer resilience to natural disturbances is key to conserving and restoring savanna ecosystems. Fire is a recurrent disturbance in savannas, and savanna vegetation is highly adapted ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fire as stimulant of shrub recruitment in northwestern Patagonian (Argentina) grasslands
(Springer Tokyo, 2013-06)
One strategy of plant survival during post-fire succession is to persist and regenerate by recruiting new individuals from a fire-resistant seed bank. The heat, smoke, and charcoal released during plant combustion may act ...
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 - ...
Plano de segurança contra incêndio e pânico (PSCIP): estudo de caso de adaptação ao novo código em edificação construída entre os anos de 1991 e 1995 em Pato Branco, Paraná
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáPato BrancoBrasilDepartamento Acadêmico de Construção CivilEngenharia CivilUTFPR, 2017-11-21)
The changes that have been taking place in the fire safety legislation for buildings in the country of Brazil end up in the need of adapting existing buildings to the new ruling laws. The adaptation of existing buildings ...
