Management impacts on fire occurrence: A comparison of fire regimes of African and South American tropical savannas in different protected areas
(2018-07-15)
Humans can alter fire dynamics in grassland systems by changing fire frequency, fire seasonality and fuel conditions. These changes have effects on vegetation structure and recovery, species composition, and ecosystem ...
From ashes to understanding: Opinion papers on fire and a call for papers for a Special Issue in Flora
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-07-01)
In the recent past, wildfires have received much attention both by science and by the media, especially in relation to deforestation, degradation and climate change and when affecting fire-sensitive ecosystems. On the other ...
Reconstruction of Fire History Using ‘Dry’ Sediments, An Approach for Microcharcoal Studies from the Sierras Pampeanas, NW Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-12)
A new accessible and easy method for studying past fire events using ‘dry sediments’ is presented. The method was developed for analysing samples from 17 locations in the Ambato Valley, NW Argentina, to study fire regimes ...

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 ...
The year 2017: Megafires and management in the cerrado
(2018-12-01)
The year 2017 was a megafire year, when huge areas burned on different continents. In Brazil, a great extension of the Cerrado burned, raising once more the discussion about the “zero-fire” policy. Indeed, most protected ...
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 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, ...
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 ...
