Canopy plant composition and structure of Cape subtropical dune thicket are predicted by the levels of fire exposure [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background The subtropical dune thicket (hereafter “dune thicket”) of the Cape Floristic Region experiences a wide range of fire exposure throughout the landscape, unlike other dry rainforest formations that rarely experience fire. We sought to determine

The Effect of Seeding Treatments and Climate on Fire Regimes in Wyoming Sagebrush Steppe

Fire, 2021
Wildfire size and frequency have increased in the western United States since the 1950s, but it is unclear how seeding treatments have altered fire regimes in arid steppe systems.

Fire frequency during the Holocene in central Latvia, northeastern Europe [PDF]

Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2021
Fire is today a pan-European issue and is expected to be more salient because of climate and land use changes. Even though natural and anthropogenic fires have shaped forest composition and landscape characteristics since the last glacial retreat from ...

Attributing Increases in Fire Weather to Anthropogenic Climate Change Over France

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Anthropogenic climate change is widely thought to have enhanced fire danger across parts of the world, including Mediterranean regions through increased evaporative demand and diminished precipitation during the fire season.

Modeling the effects of spatially explicit patterns of climate and fire on future populations of a fire-dependent plant

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Many plant species are likely to face population decline or even extinction in the coming century, especially those with a limited distribution and inadequate dispersal relative to the projected rates of climate change.

Remote Sensing Applied to the Study of Fire Regime Attributes and Their Influence on Post-Fire Greenness Recovery in Pine Ecosystems

Remote Sensing, 2018
We aimed to analyze the relationship between fire regime attributes and the post-fire greenness recovery of fire-prone pine ecosystems over the short (2-year) and medium (5-year) term after a large wildfire, using both a single and a combined fire regime

Holocene fire regimes, fire‐related plant functional types, and climate in south‐coastal British Columbia forests

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

Evidence that modern fires may be unprecedented during the last 3400 years in permafrost zone of Central Siberia, Russia

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Recent climate change in Siberia is increasing the probability of dangerous forest fires. The development of effective measures to mitigate and prevent fires is impossible without an understanding of long-term fire dynamics. This paper presents the first

Climate‐altered fire regimes may increase extirpation risk in an upper subalpine conifer species of management concern

Ecosphere, 2020
Climate change is transforming forest structure and function by altering the timing, frequency, intensity, and spatial extent of episodic disturbances. Wildland fire regimes in western U.S.

Improving the representation of fire disturbance in dynamic vegetation models by assimilating satellite data: a case study over the Arctic [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2015
Fire provides an impulsive and stochastic pathway for carbon from the terrestrial biosphere to enter the atmosphere. Despite fire emissions being of similar magnitude to net ecosystem exchange in many biomes, even the most complex dynamic vegetation ...
