Global fire history of grassland biomes. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2018
AbstractGrasslands are globally extensive; they exist in many different climates, at high and low elevations, on nutrient‐rich and nutrient‐poor soils. Grassland distributions today are closely linked to human activities, herbivores, and fire, but many have been converted to urban areas, forests, or agriculture fields.

Short Spatiotemporal Fire History Explains the Occurrence of Beetles Favoured by Fire. [PDF]

Insects
The number and area of forest fires in northern Europe have been dramatically reduced during the past century, and several fire-favoured species are now threatened. To promote the recovery of these species, prescribed burning is often used as a conservation measure, and to optimise the use of these conservation burns, knowledge is needed on suitable ...

Impact of forest fire on radial growth of tree rings and their element concentrations of Pinus sylvestris and Larix gmelinii in northern China

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
AimsThrough analyzing the responses of the radial growth and element concentrations (B, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, Na, P, Ni, and Cu) of tree rings of two dominant tree species to forest fires, we aimed to investigate the relationship between tree rings ...

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 ...

First Spatial Reconstruction of Past Fires in Temperate Europe Suggests Large Variability of Fire Sizes and an Important Role of Human-Related Ignitions

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The spatial component of past forest fires in temperate Europe has been little studied, despite the value of such data in quantifying human and natural factors driving fire activity and associated forest dynamics.

The reconstruction of Holocene northwestern Mongolian fire history based on high-resolution multi-site macro-charcoal analyses

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
In palaeoecology, multi-site macro-charcoal analyses provide information on climate–fire–vegetation linkages, their spatial and temporal extent, and the impact of prehistoric human practices.

Paleoecological Investigation of Vegetation, Climate and Fire History in, and Adjacent to, Kootenay National Park, Southeastern British Columbia, Canada

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Paleoecological investigation of two montane lakes in the Kootenay region of southeast British Columbia, Canada, reveal changes in vegetation in response to climate and fire throughout the Holocene. Pollen, charcoal, and lake sediment carbon accumulation

The effect of various Fire management strategies on the occurrence and size of unplanned wildfires in a large African Savanna park

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Savannas cover approximately 20% of the global land surface. In African savannas, fire is an important agent controlling these ecosystems. Kruger National Park (KNP) is a large African savanna park which was proclaimed in 1926.

Forest Structure and Fire History at Lake Arcadia, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma (1820–2014)

Oklahoma Native Plant Record, 2015
Evidence indicates that the structure of Oklahoma Cross Timbers forests are in transition due to changing climate, land-use patterns, and fire suppression efforts.

Optimal fire histories for biodiversity conservation [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2014
Abstract Fire is used as a management tool for biodiversity conservation worldwide. A common objective is to avoid population extinctions due to inappropriate fire regimes. However, in many ecosystems, it is unclear what mix of fire histories will achieve this goal. We determined the optimal fire history of a given area for biological
