Reconsidering the fire ecology of the iconic American chestnut
Ecosphere, 2020 The iconic American chestnut (Castanea dentata) once spanned a large portion of eastern North America before its functional extinction in the early 20th century due primarily to non‐native fungal pathogens.

Biomass-modulated fire dynamics during the last glacial-interglacial transition at the central pyrenees (Spain) [PDF]
, 2014 Understanding long-term fire ecology is essential for current day interpretation of ecosystem fire responses. However palaeoecology of fire is still poorly understood, especially at high-altitude mountain environments, despite the fact that these are ...

A Review of the Applications of Remote Sensing in Fire Ecology
Remote Sensing, 2019 Wildfire plays an important role in ecosystem dynamics, land management, and global processes. Understanding the dynamics associated with wildfire, such as risks, spatial distribution, and effects is important for developing a clear understanding of its ...

Heat shock and plant leachates regulate seed germination of the endangered carnivorous plant Drosophyllum lusitanicum [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2018 In fire-prone ecosystems, many plant species have specialized mechanisms of seed dormancy that ensure a successful recruitment after fire. A well-documented mechanism is the germination stimulated by fire-related cues, such as heat shock and smoke ...

The Impact of Prescribed Fire on Moth Assemblages in the Boston Mountains and Ozark Highlands, in Arkansas [PDF]
, 2019 In addition to the impacts of prescribed fires on forest vegetation, this ecosystem process also has dramatic impacts on associated insect assemblages. For herbivorous, terrestrial insects, fire predictably results in a cycle of initial insect population

Populus tremuloides seedling establishment: An underexplored vector for forest type conversion after multiple disturbances [PDF]
, 2017 Ecosystem resilience to climate change is contingent on post-disturbance plant regeneration. Sparse gymnosperm regeneration has been documented in subalpine forests following recent wildfires and compounded disturbances, both of which are increasing.
