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 ...

Central Chile experienced a very extended and devastating fire season during 2016e17. After 3 years, here we present the results of an analysis of behavior of the wildfires occurred in that season.We used a modeling approach ...

It is necessary, in order to carry out the assessment of concrete structures in a fire situation, to know the Standard Fire Resistance of the structural elements. Both the ABNT NBR 14432 (2001) and the ABNT NBR 15200 (2012) ...

Questions: In fire-prone ecosystems, fire can enhance the flowering and fruiting of many species, a strategy assumed to be well represented in savanna. Despite this, there are surprisingly few studies assessing how prevalent ...

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. ...

Aim: Fire is a natural disturbance in many ecosystems throughout the world where plant populations can persist by the resprouting of individuals and/or by recruiting from seeds. We evaluated the post-fire regeneration ...

In environments with high fire frequency the impoverishment of abiotic resources may favor male sexual expression in plants as it is less costly than female expression. Also, fire can modify pollinator communities and thus ...

Increased fire frequency can significantly erode both soil properties and plant–pollinator interactions affecting plant reproductive success but they have seldom been assessed simultaneously. Here, we evaluate soil properties, ...
