Land cover fire proneness in Europe

open access: yesForest 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 ...

Noise‐induced vegetation patterns in fire‐prone savannas [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Spatial and temporal dimensions of fire activity in the fire‐prone eastern Canadian taiga [PDF]

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2016
AbstractThe forest age mosaic is a fundamental attribute of the North American boreal forest. Given that fires are generally lethal to trees, the time since last fire largely determines the composition and structure of forest stands and landscapes.

Examining fire-prone forest landscapes as coupled human and natural systems

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2014
Fire-prone landscapes are not well studied as coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) and present many challenges for understanding and promoting adaptive behaviors and institutions.

Market-based Options for Supporting Sustainable Fire Management of Fire-prone Cerrado (Savanna) Remnant Landscapes

open access: yesBiodiversidade Brasileira, 2021
Sustainable fire management of remnant Cerrado (savanna) vegetation faces many challenges in Brazil and regionally, including: the legacy of imposed colonial fire suppression policies; massive fragmentation of the Cerrado biome through agricultural and ...

The effect of simulated heat-shock and daily temperature fluctuations on seed germination of four species from fire-prone ecosystems

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2016
Seed germination in many species from fire-prone ecosystems may be triggered by heat shock and/or temperature fluctuation, and how species respond to such fire-related cues is important to understand post-fire regeneration strategies. Thus, we tested how

The variation in climate conditions and fire-related traits across Pinus (Pinaceae) species

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Fire has long been recognized as a significant evolutionary factor for the genus Pinus (family Pinaceae). Many pine species have developed specific fire-adaptations, such as self-pruning, resprouting, and serotiny, to persist under various fire regimes ...
