FireWildfire risk increases following non-fire disturbance events, but this relationship is not always linear or cumulative, and previous studies are not consistent in differentiating between disturbance loops versus cascades.

Storm and fire disturbances in Europe: Distribution and trends [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2021 AbstractAbiotic forest disturbances are an important driver of ecosystem dynamics. In Europe, storms and fires have been identified as the most important abiotic disturbances in the recent past. Yet, how strongly these agents drive local disturbance regimes compared to other agents (e.g., biotic, human) remains unresolved.

Fire as a disturbance in mediterranean climate streams [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 2013 Mediterranean climate ecosystems are among the most fire-prone in the world; however, little is known about the effects of fire on mediterranean streams (med-streams). Fire impacts on med-streams are associated with increased runoff and erosion from severely burned landscapes during storms, particularly the first intense rains.

A New Application of the Disturbance Index for Fire Severity in Coastal Dunes [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 Fires are a disturbance that can lead to short term dune destabilisation and have been suggested to be an initiation mechanism of a transgressive dune phase when paired with changing climatic conditions. Fire severity is one potential factor that could explain subsequent coastal dune destabilisations, but contemporary evidence of destabilisation ...

‘The Fire Does Not Disturb Us’
Anthropology of the Middle East, 2021 Abstract This article examines the contemporary qaṣīda poetry of South Sinai Muzīna Bedouin women from an anthropological perspective, drawing primarily upon a history of emotions framework, as well as Bedouin ethnographic studies and Arabic literary criticism.

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2023 Forests are resilient to a range of disturbances, but combinations of severe natural and anthropogenic disturbances (e.g. wildfire and logging) may inhibit forest recovery and lead to forest degradation.

Effects of fire disturbance on Larix gmelinii growth-climate relationship
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Wildfire is a widespread phenomenon on the earth that has affected most ecosystems and is responsible for enormous economic and environmental damage. The Greater Khingan Mountains, the south boundary of the boreal forest, are a fire-prone area.

FIRE DISTURBANCE PATTERNS AND FOREST AGE STRUCTURE
Natural Resource Modeling, 2001 ABSTRACT. This paper investigates how the stability of forest age‐distribution is related to the fire regimes. We start with the derivation of theoreticalnegative exponentialforest age‐distribution, and use three models to explore the condition with which a stable age‐distribution could be expected. The results suggested that a stable age‐distribution

Quantifying carbon and species dynamics under different fire regimes in a southeastern U.S. pineland
Ecosphere, 2019 Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage. Climate change and anthropogenic forcing have altered the dominant characteristics of some forested ecosystems through changes to their disturbance regimes, particularly fire.

Using dense Sentinel-2 time series to explore combined fire and drought impacts in eucalypt forests
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Following one of the driest years on record, millions of hectares of forests in southeast Australia were burned in the 2019–2020 “Black Summer” wildfires.
