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

Jurnal Riset Informatika, 2023 This research investigated ensemble clustering algorithms and dimensionality reduction for fire zone mapping, specifically DBSCAN + UMAP. We evaluated six clustering methods: DBSCAN, ensemble DBSCAN, DBSCAN + UMAP, ensemble DBSCAN + UMAP, HDBSCAN and ...

Smoke and heat accelerate and increase germination in fire‐prone temperate grassy ecosystems
Ecosphere, 2021 Fire increases seedling recruitment by reducing competition for space and resources. As such, many species in fire‐prone ecosystems germinate in response to fire cues such as smoke and heat.
