Tropical Dry Forest Resilience to Fire Depends on Fire Frequency and Climate [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and devastating in many tropical forests. Although seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are among the most fire-threatened ecosystems, their long-term response to frequent wildfires remains largely unknown ...

Characterization of forest fire frequency using fire scar mapping of temporal satellite data for forest fire management

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Forestry and Environment, 2022
One of the most complex problems facing in tropical forests, particularly in deciduous forests, is the recurrent incidence of fire. It is well known that fire caused extensive damage in the forest ecosystem by quantitatively and qualitatively. To reduce

Current and future estimates for the fire frequency and the fire rotation period in the main woodland types of peninsular Spain: a case-study approach

open access: yesForest Systems, 2015
Aim of study . Fire regimes are frequently dynamic and change as a function of the interactions between the three main fire drivers: fuels, ignitions and climatic conditions.

Fire frequency during the Holocene in central Latvia, northeastern Europe [PDF]

open access: yesEstonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2021
Fire is today a pan-European issue and is expected to be more salient because of climate and land use changes. Even though natural and anthropogenic fires have shaped forest composition and landscape characteristics since the last glacial retreat from ...

Impact of forest fire frequency on floristic diversity in the forests of Uttarakhand, western Himalaya

open access: yesTrees, Forests and People, 2022
The Uttarakhand State of India is rich in forest wealth with 45.4% forest cover (India State of Forest Report (2021). However, forest cover may change due to a number of anthropogenic and environmental factors.

Indigenous Fire-Managed Landscapes in Southeast Australia during the Holocene—New Insights from the Furneaux Group Islands, Bass Strait

open access: yesFire, 2021
Indigenous land use and climate have shaped fire regimes in southeast Australia during the Holocene, although their relative influence remains unclear. The archaeologically attested mid-Holocene decline in land-use intensity on the Furneaux Group islands

Continental-scale empirical evidence for relationships between fire response strategies and fire frequency. [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytol
Summary Theory suggests that the dominance of resprouting and seeding, two key mechanisms through which plants persist with recurrent fire, both depend on other traits and vary with fire regime. However, these patterns remain largely untested over broad scales.

High fire frequency and the impact of the 2019–2020 megafires on Australian plant diversity

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2021
To quantify the impact of the 2019–2020 megafires on Australian plant diversity by assessing burnt area across 26,062 species ranges and the effects of fire history on recovery potential.

Assessing Impact of Multiple Fires on a Tropical Peat Swamp Forest Using High and Very High-Resolution Satellite Images

open access: yesFire, 2021
Tropical peat swamp forests, found mainly in Southeast Asia, have been threatened by recurring El Niño fires. Repeated burnings form a complex and heterogeneous landscape comprising a mosaic of burned patches of different fire frequencies, requiring fine-
