The effects of fire on landscapes depend on the interaction between the five components that integrate the fire regime. That is, plants are not adapted to fire per se, but to a certain fire regime. Similarly, wildfire management depends on the interaction between the biotic and abiotic features on the site and the fire regime. The fire regime, in turn,

Fire History and Fire Regimes Shifts in Patagonian Temperate Forests
2017Fire has been a frequent disturbance in Patagonia. The presence of charcoal in sedimentary records covering the last 44,000 years suggests that natural fires played a significant role in shaping the landscape before the arrival of Native Americans ca. 14,500–12,500 years ago.

Mapping fire regime ecoregions in California
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2020The fire regime is a central framing concept in wildfire science and ecology and describes how a range of wildfire characteristics vary geographically over time. Understanding and mapping fire regimes is important for guiding appropriate management and risk reduction strategies and for informing research on drivers of global change and altered fire ...

FIRE REGIMES IN DRYLAND LANDSCAPES
2006Dryland regions are climatically defined as having low annual precipitation and dry season periods that can span over several months and take place once or twice a year. Dryland ecosystems (e.g., grasslands, savannas, or dry forests) that experience recurrent fires often exhibit fire-adapted (or “pyrophytic”) vegetation (Trabaud 1981; Scholes 1997; van

Maps depicting historic fire regimes provide critical baselines for sustainable forest management and wildfire risk assessments. However, given our poor understanding of mixed-severity fire regimes, we asked if there may be considerable errors in fire-regime classification systems used to create landscape-level maps.

Eco-hydrology driven fire regime in savanna
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2014Fire is an important evolutionary force and ecosystem consumer that shapes savanna composition. However, ecologists have not comprehensively explained the functioning and maintenance of flammable savannas. A new minimal model accounting for the interdependence between soil saturation, biomass growth, fuel availability and fire has been used to predict ...

Reconstructing Landscape Pattern of Historical Fires and Fire Regimes
2010Analysis of historical fire patterns of severity provides a view of fire regimes before they were altered by contemporary forest management practices such as logging, road-building, grazing, and fire suppression. Historical fire data can place contemporary observed fire data in a longer temporal context, and establish prior likelihoods to test outputs ...

Native Fire Regimes and Landscape Resilience
2010First introduced by Holling (1973), the term “resilience” has been used widely in the ecological literature, but it is not always defined and is rarely quantified. Holling suggested that ecological resilience is the amount of disturbance that an ecosystem could withstand without changing self-organized processes and structures. His description suggests

Fire Ecology: Fire Regimes, Fire-Adapted Species, Post-Fire Regeneration and Fuel-Risk Mapping
Abstract Fire is a fundamental ecological process that shapes the structure, composition and functioning of ecosystems across the globe. Recent syntheses frame fire as an integral Earth-system process, tightly coupled to climate, vegetation, human land use and biogeochemical cycles.Chhor, Chhunla +2 more
