Fire disturbance effects on plant taxonomic and functional β‐diversity mediated by topographic exposure [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Although the diversity–disturbance relationship has been extensively studied, the differences in responses of taxonomic vs. functional diversity to natural disturbances (i.e., fire) call for an improved understanding of this relationship.

Cortinarius and Tomentella Fungi Become Dominant Taxa in Taiga Soil after Fire Disturbance [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Fungi have important ecological functions in the soil of forests, where they decompose organic matter, provide plants with nutrients, increase plant water uptake, and improve plant resistance to adversity, disease, and disturbance. A forest fire presents

Ecosphere, 2021 Ecosystem process models can be used to predict forest response to disturbances at a range of scales. Selection of the spatial class of model should depend on the scale of the research or management question, and model type should depend on the ecosystem

UNDERSTANDING THE SPATIO-TEMPORAL PATTERN OF FIRE DISTURBANCE IN THE EASTERN MONGOLIA USING MODIS PRODUCT [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 Fire disturbance plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance, biodiversity and self-renewal. In this paper, the spatio-temporal pattern of fire disturbances in eastern Mongolia are studied by using the ArcGIS spatial analysis method, using ...

Delayed fire mortality has long‐term ecological effects across the Southern Appalachian landscape
Ecosphere, 2022 Fire is a critical ecological process to the forests of the Southern Appalachians. Where fire was excluded from forest types that historically burned frequently, unanticipated changes can occur when fire is reintroduced.

ENSO modulates interaction between forest insect and fire disturbances in China
Natural Hazards Research, 2022 Growing evidence shows that global warming has greatly changed the forest disturbance mechanism. The interactions of disturbance factors are also an indispensable part of forest disturbance mechanism.

Evaluation of the Spatial Distribution of Predictors of Fire Regimes in China from 2003 to 2016
Remote Sensing, 2023 Wildfire has extensive and profound impacts on forest structure and function. Therefore, it is important to study the spatial and temporal patterns of forest fire regimes and their drivers in order to better understand the feedbacks between climate ...

A novel approach to fuel biomass sampling for 3D fuel characterization
MethodsX, 2018 Surface fuels are the critical link between structure and function in frequently burned pine ecosystems, which are found globally (Williamson and Black, 1981; Rebertus et al., 1989; Glitzenstein et al., 1995) [1–3].

Patterns and drivers of disturbance in tropical forest reserves of southern Ghana
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Ghana has retained a substantial area of tropical forests in an extensive network of protected reserves. These forests are impacted by land uses such as logging, mining, and agriculture as well as wildfires.
