Allelopathic Mechanisms in Fire-Prone Ecosystems

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2021
Understanding the fire-prone arid-zone pine species and maquis vegetation's response to fire is very important to reveal the ecology and evolution of these species. During the succession of vegetation, there are complex relationships between allelopathic

Smoke and heat accelerate and increase germination in fire‐prone temperate grassy ecosystems [PDF]

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.

The potential importance of unburned islands as refugia for the persistence of wildlife species in fire‐prone ecosystems [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The persistence of wildlife species in fire‐prone ecosystems is under increasing pressure from global change, including alterations in fire regimes caused by climate change.

Dataset on flammability and functional traits of woody plants in a pine-oak forest of western Mexico [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Plant 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 ...

Seed fatty acid composition and physical dormancy in fire-prone ecosystems. [PDF]

Ann Bot
Abstract Background and Aims The maintenance of seed banks and timing of germination are fundamental to ensuring population persistence. Physical dormancy (PY) in disturbance-prone environments contributes to these processes via an impermeable seed coat.

Fire and Herbivory as Architects of Mediterranean Biodiversity [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Reconstructing the long‐term interactions between fire and herbivory is essential to understand how Mediterranean vegetation has historically responded to disturbance regimes which is a critical step for informing current biodiversity and fire management

Perceived changes in social-ecological resilience in fire-prone ecosystems in Colorado

Ecology and Society
Assessing resilience of wildfire-prone social-ecological systems (SES) can provide a baseline for decision makers and inform future management actions.

Ecological Resilience of Restored Mediterranean‐Climate Woodlands to Experimental Fire [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The ability of restored sites to recover from subsequent disturbances is a key component of restoration success. Resilience is achieved when a restored site returns to its pre‐disturbance state, rather than shifts to a different one.

Substantial increases in the likelihood of extreme fire weather events for fire-prone ecosystems in Australia

npj Natural Hazards
We evaluated the influence of climate change on fire weather in Australia using the McArthur Forest Fire Danger Index (FFDI) and climate simulations from an ensemble of dynamically downscaled CMIP6 projections.
