A comparison of land cover maps to define vegetation classes of fire risk in Brazil
Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2019 Natural fires are essential in the structure and functioning of many ecosystems in the world. Some vegetation types are more vulnerable to fire, e.g.tropical forests, whereas others are fire dependent, like savannas.

Rainforest bird communities threatened by extreme fire
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Fire occurs naturally in many ecosystems and is predicted to increase in frequency and severity with climate change. The 2019–2020 Australian bushfire season was extreme, unprecedented in scale and severity, burning almost 19 million ha.

Tanned or burned: the role of fire in shaping physical seed dormancy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Plant species with physical seed dormancy are common in mediterranean fire-prone ecosystems. Because fire breaks seed dormancy and enhances the recruitment of many species, this trait might be considered adaptive in fire-prone environments.

Dataset on flammability and functional traits of woody plants in a pine-oak forest of western Mexico [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalPlant functional traits provide key information about species’ ecological strategies and their responses to environmental disturbances such as fire. This dataset documents 14 morpho-functional traits of leaves (specific leaf area, leaf water content and ...

Time since fire strongly and variously influences anthophilous insects in a fire‐prone landscape
Ecosphere, 2019 Drivers of species productivity and ecosystem function are of great ecological significance. In fire‐prone ecosystems, dispersion patterns of important pollinator species are driven by the various fire events over space and time.

Fire, 2020 Fire frequency and fire seasonality are among the main components of the fire regime. In the Mediterranean Basin, climate directly drives fire occurrence, controlling fuel flammability and determining the fire-prone conditions, so that intense fires ...

Fire, 2023 Integrating fire into land management is crucial in fire-prone regions. To evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of prescribed fire (PF), we employed the REMAINS model in NW Iberia’s Transboundary Biosphere Reserve Gerês-Xurés. We tested three levels

Hydroclimatic and Land Use Drivers of Wildfire Risk in the Colombian Caribbean
FireFire-driven land cover change has generated a paradox: while habitat fragmentation from agriculture, livestock, and urban expansion has reduced natural fire occurrences, human-induced ignitions have increased wildfire frequency and intensity. In northern
