From Ashes to Action: Economic Growth, Ecological Footprint, and Forest Fire Resilience in Advanced and Emerging Economies

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest fires have escalated alarmingly, now consuming more than double the tree cover compared to two decades ago, signaling a growing and urgent environmental crisis. This study addresses the ever increasing global concern of forest fires, focusing on sustainable economic recovery while minimizing the ecological footprint amid mounting ...

Post‐Fire Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics: Decline and Recovery Over Two Decades

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfire can significantly alter soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in forest ecosystems, with complex temporal patterns following fire events. However, research on post‐fire SOC recovery remains limited, particularly in dry‐warm valley regions that are prone to frequent forest fires.

Repeated Seasonal Fires Drive Soil Nutrient Redistribution Across Depths in a Namibian Savanna, Kavango West Region, Namibia

open access: yesFire
Fire is a key ecological driver in savanna systems, influencing soil biogeochemical processes by releasing nutrients but also causing potential losses through volatilization and leaching. In this study, we investigated how fire seasonality and soil depth

Life history stability under climate change: a wildflower at the northern edge of its range

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Stabilities of life history traits for a widespread native perennial wildflower, Rudbeckia laciniata L., are described for five populations near the northern edge of its range in North America. Theory proposes that such populations experience variable levels of stress as suitable abiotic conditions shift north or south from year to year, which ...

Grasstree stem analysis reveals insufficient data for inference of fire history [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Grinding back dead leaf bases on the stems of arborescent grasstrees (Xant7wrrlwea spp.) reveals a pattern of horizontal bands that has been interpreted as a record of the fire history experienced by the plant.
