Fire regime and management in Canada's protected areas
International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks, 2022 Wildland fires are a vital ecological process in Canada's protected areas (PAs), resulting in both ecological benefits and detrimental disturbances. In the face of rapid global changes, maximizing fire's ecological benefits while minimizing its negative ...

The use of fire to preserve biodiversity under novel fire regimes. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol SciNovel fire regimes are emerging worldwide and pose substantial challenges to biodiversity conservation. Addressing these challenges and mitigating their impacts on biodiversity will require developing a wide range of fire management practices. In this paper, we leverage research across taxa, ecosystems and continents to highlight strategies for ...

Current and historical fire regimes of Pechora-Iilych nature reserve and its surroundings [PDF]
Вопросы лесной науки, 2019 fire regime determines conditions of occurrence, spread and long-term consequences of forest fires. A significant change in the fire regime in the natural complex may indicate at possible loss risks of the key components of the ecosystem.

Fire, 2020 Fire regimes are important components of environmental dynamics, but our understanding of them is limited. Despite recent advances in the methodologies used to remotely sense and map fires and burned areas and new case studies that shed light on local ...

Global scale coupling of pyromes and fire regimes
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Different interpretations of the fire regime concept have limited the capacity to allocate specific fire regimes worldwide. To solve this limitation, in this study, we present a framework to frame contemporary fire regimes spatially on a global scale. We

Plant rarity in fire-prone dry sclerophyll communities
Scientific Reports, 2022 Understanding the responses of rare species to altered fire disturbance regimes is an ongoing challenge for ecologists. We asked: are there associations between fire regimes and plant rarity across different vegetation communities?

Ecosphere, 2023 Paleoecological records of past fire events and forest composition provide long‐term ecological context for modern changes in fire regimes and forest dynamics. Here, we use pollen and contiguous macroscopic charcoal analyses of lake sediments from Pender

A global wildfire dataset for the analysis of fire regimes and fire behaviour. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2019 Abstract Global fire monitoring systems are crucial to study fire behaviour, fire regimes and their impact at the global scale. Although global fire products based on the use of Earth Observation satellites exist, most remote sensing products only partially cover the requirements for these analyses.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 To sustainably manage forests, it is important to understand the historical fire regimes including the severity, frequency, seasonal timing of fires as well as the relationship between climate and fire in order to develop management plans that mimic and ...

Animals as Agents in Fire Regimes
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020 Fire is a powerful ecological and evolutionary force. Animals that modify drivers of fire behaviour could therefore have far-reaching effects on ecosystems. Yet, with a few notable exceptions, effects of animals on fire have been often overlooked. We show how animals can affect fire behaviour by modifying the amount, structure, or condition of fuel or,
