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 ...
The dynamics of three shrub species in a fire-prone temperate savanna: the interplay between the seed bank, seed rain and fire regime
(Springer, 2013-01)
A model was developed to assess how the seed rain and fire regime affect seed bank dynamics and seedling establishment of three native shrub species (Acanthostyles buniifolius, Baccharis pingraea and Baccharis dracunculifolia) ...
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 ...
The dynamics of three shrub species in a fire-prone temperate savanna: the interplay between the seed bank, seed rain and fire regime.
(Springer, 2013-01)
A model was developed to assess how the seed rain and fire regime affect seed bank dynamics and seedling establishment of three native shrub species (Acanthostyles buniifolius, Baccharis pingraea and Baccharis dracunculifolia) ...
Are wildfires affecting seed germination in cactus? An experimental assessment
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-03-11)
Cacti are conspicuous plants across arid and semi-arid ecosystems of the American continent and are currently under threat due to human pressures, such as habitat loss, illegal collection and changes in fire regimes. ...
Germination response of common annual and perennial forbs to heat shock and smoke treatments in the Chaco Serrano, central Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-08)
Fire is a key ecological factor affecting plant dynamics. In the last few decades, fire occurrence in the Chaco region has increased noticeably, challenging the adaptive capacity of plants to regenerate after a fire. ...
Post-fire resprouting capacity of seasonally dry forest species - Two quantitative indices
(Elsevier Science, 2020-06)
Qualitative measures of resprouting capacity often fail to capture inter- and intra-species variation, whereasavailable quantitative methods can be complex and time-consuming, hindering broad-scale comparative studies. ...
Response of hardwood tree regeneration to surface fires, western Chaco region, Argentina
(2014-08-15)
We assessed the response of seedlings and pole-sized individuals of Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco Schlecht., Schinopsis lorentzii (Griseb.) Engler and Ziziphus mistol Griseb. to surface fires. We assessed traits of fire ...
The contribution of fire damage to restricting high mountain Polylepis australis forests to ravines: Insights from an un-replicated comparison
(2015-04)
High mountain forests are often restricted to ravines and much debate has existed on the explanations of this distribution, with arguments ranging from abiotic site conditions being more favorable in ravines to there being ...
Fire influences the structure of plant–bee networks
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-10)
Fire represents a frequent disturbance in many ecosystems, which can affect plant–pollinator assemblages and hence the services they provide. Furthermore, fire events could affect the architecture of plant–pollinator ...
