Heat shock and plant leachates regulate seed germination of the endangered carnivorous plant Drosophyllum lusitanicum [PDF]

open access: yesWeb 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 ...

African fire histories and fire ecologies [PDF]

open access: yesPast Global Change Magazine, 2018
Patterns of fire are changing across African savannahs, rainforests, fynbos, woodlands, and Afroalpine and montane forests, with direct environmental and socio-ecological consequences. Fire variability has implications for biodiversity (Beale et al. 2018), vegetation patterns, grazing quality, carbon emissions, protected area management, and landscape ...

Effects of Fire Frequency Regimes on Flammability and Leaf Economics of Non-Graminoid Vegetation

open access: yesFire, 2023
Fire is an ecological factor that strongly influences plant communities and functional traits. Communities respond differently to fire, either decreasing or increasing in flammability and resource acquisition strategies.
