PLoS ONE, 2021 Restoring fire regimes is a major goal of biodiversity conservation efforts in fire-prone ecosystems from which fire has been excluded. In the southeastern U.S.A., nearly a century of fire exclusion in pine savannas has led to significant biodiversity ...

Effect of Time-Since-Fire on Ant Communities in a Semi-Arid Landscape. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe sampled ants from five sites with varying fire histories (3, 5, 9, 26, and 34 years since the last fire). A total of 16,360 ants were collected, and 59 species across 20 genera were identified. Our results indicate that total ant abundance was higher in recently burnt sites and decreased with increasing time‐since‐fire, while ant species richness ...

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.

Diversity and Resilience of Seed-Removing Ant Species in Longleaf Sandhill to Frequent Fire
Diversity, 2022 Prescribed fire is used globally as a habitat restoration tool and is widely accepted as supporting biotic diversity. However, in fire-prone ecosystems, research has sometimes documented post-fire reduction in ant diversity and accompanying changes in ...

MODELLING OF NATURAL FIRE OCCURRENCES: A CASE OF SOUTH AFRICA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020 In contemporary literature there have been growing concerns regarding preservations of natural ecosystems. Given the global growth in awareness of global warming, the need for natural fire prediction models has grown rapidly. Using South Africa as a case
