Local forest structure variability increases resilience to wildfire in dry western U.S. coniferous forests. [PDF]
, 2020 A 'resilient' forest endures disturbance and is likely to persist. Resilience to wildfire may arise from feedback between fire behaviour and forest structure in dry forest systems.

Stand-replacing wildfires increase nitrification for decades in southwestern ponderosa pine forests. [PDF]
, 2014 Stand-replacing wildfires are a novel disturbance within ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests of the southwestern United States, and they can convert forests to grasslands or shrublands for decades.

African fire histories and fire ecologies [PDF]
Past 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
Fire, 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.

Pre-European fire regimes in Australian ecosystems [PDF]
, 2008 We use multiple lines of evidence, including palaeo-environmental, ecological, historical, anthropological and archaeological, to investigate pre-European fire regimes in Australia, with particular focus on the extent to which the use of fire by ...
