Noise‐induced vegetation patterns in fire‐prone savannas [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2007 The high degree of spatial organization of dryland vegetation has been often explained invoking a number of different deterministic mechanisms without ever explicitly addressing the role of noise in the process of pattern formation. Noise is usually believed to act on ecosystems as a source of disorganized random fluctuations.

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.

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 ...

Biomass consumption by surface fires across Earth's most fire prone continent
Global Change Biology, 2018 AbstractLandscape fire is a key but poorly understood component of the global carbon cycle. Predicting biomass consumption by fire at large spatial scales is essential to understanding carbon dynamics and hence how fire management can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase ecosystem carbon storage.

Fire-Proneness as a Prerequisite for the Evolution of Fire-Adapted Traits [PDF]
Trends in Plant Science, 2017 Fire as a major evolutionary force has been disputed because it is considered to lack supporting evidence. If a trait has evolved in response to selection by fire then the environment of the plant must have been fire-prone before the appearance of that trait.

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

Land cover fire proneness in Europe
Forest Systems, 2014 Aim of study: This study aims to identify and characterize the spatial and temporal evolution of the types of vegetation that are most affected by forest fires in Europe. The characterization of the fuels is an important issue of the fire regime in each specific ecosystem while, on the other hand, fire is an important disturbance for global vegetation ...
