The role of fire frequency and severity on the regeneration of Mediterranean serotinous pines under different environmental conditions

open access: yesForest Ecology and Management, 2019
Fire frequency and burn severity may increase in pine forests in the Mediterranean Basin under the warmer and drier climate projected for this region. Our study aims to evaluate the role of fire frequency and burn severity in the post-fire recruitment ...

The occurrence of fire influences the tree stratum of the Tabebuia aurea monodominant stands "Paratudal" in the Pantanal of Miranda/MS?

open access: yesBiodiversidade Brasileira, 2020
The Pantanal is located in the center of the South American continent, mainly in Brazil. The geomorphological complexity and waters of the rivers that descend to the Pantanal generate a seasonal flood cycle,that influences the organization of different ...

Exploring Spatial Distributions of Land Use and Land Cover Change in Fire-Affected Areas of Miombo Woodlands of the Beira Corridor, Central Mozambique

open access: yesFire, 2023
Miombo woodlands (MW) are increasingly experiencing widespread land use and land cover change (LULCC). This study explores the influence of fire, agriculture, and slope variability on LULCC in the miombo of the Beira Corridor.

Differential impact of fire on tree diversity, composition, structure and carbon stock in tropical savanna

open access: yesNext Sustainability
Tropical savannas are characterized as a stable and fire-dependent biome, in which recurrent fire is a prominent feature. Fire frequency stands out as one of the most influential parameters in the savanna fire regime.

Microscopic charcoal and tar (CHAT) particles in peat: a 6500-year record of palaeo-fires in southern Sweden [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2012
Peat stratigraphies of eleven raised bogs in southern Sweden were investigated. Measurements included the occurrence of charcoal and various tar particles. Most of the particles found were microscopic, i.e. 5–100 µm in diameter.

Impact of fire frequency on woody community structure and soil nutrients in the Kruger National Park

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2000
Although fire is recognised as an important determinant of the structure and function of South African savannas, there are few studies of long-term impacts.

Tree Species Composition and Diversity in Fire-Affected Areas of Miombo Woodlands, Central Mozambique

open access: yesFire, 2023
Fire strongly impacts the composition and structure of ecosystems, with consequences yet to be understood. We used Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data to map fire frequency and fire intensity and investigate their effects on miombo

Defining Old Growth for Fire-adapted Forests of the Western United States

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2007
There are varying definitions of old-growth forests because of differences in environment and differing fire influence across the Intermountain West. Two general types of forests reflect the role of fire: 1) forests shaped by natural changes in structure
