Epicormic Resprouting in Fire-Prone Ecosystems [PDF]
Trends in Plant Science, 2017 Many plants resprout from basal buds after disturbance, and this is common in shrublands subjected to high-intensity fires. However, resprouting after fire from epicormic (stem) buds is globally far less common. Unlike basal resprouting, post-fire epicormic resprouting is a key plant adaptation for retention of the arborescent skeleton after fire ...

COMPARISON BETWEEN DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF INPE'S FIRE RISK MODEL FOR THE BRAZILIAN BIOMES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020 Fires are intrinsic disturbances in ecosystems functioning and structure in fire-prone biomes. In recent decades there has been an increase in the number of fire events in Brazilian biomes, especially due to misuse of fire in the land use and ...

Comparative assessment of heat tolerance in weevils associated with a fire‐prone ecosystem [PDF]
Ecological Entomology, 2022 Abstract Fire is an important cause of disturbance which directly shapes many ecosystems worldwide. While the effect of fire on the distribution and regeneration of plant species has been widely documented, little is known on how phytophagous insects are reacting to ...

Plants, 2021 Seed germination in response to fire-related cues has been widely studied in species from fire-prone ecosystems. However, the germination characteristics of species from non-fire-prone ecosystems, such as the saline-alkaline grassland, where fire ...

Unearthing belowground bud banks in fire‐prone ecosystems [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2018 SummaryDespite long‐time awareness of the importance of the location of buds in plant biology, research on belowground bud banks has been scant. Terms such as lignotuber, xylopodium and sobole, all referring to belowground bud‐bearing structures, are used inconsistently in the literature.

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.

A global synthesis of fire effects on soil seed banks
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Fire is a major disturbance affecting plant communities in terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding fire effects on soil seed banks is critical in the context of altered global fire regimes. Through a systematic and quantitative review of the literature, we

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Predicting how belowground carbon storage reflects changes in aboveground vegetation biomass is an unresolved challenge in most ecosystems. This is especially true for fire-prone savannas, where frequent fires shape the fraction of carbon allocated to ...

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.
