Small mammal responses to fire severity mediated by vegetation characteristics and species traits [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The frequency of large, high‐severity “mega‐fires” has increased in recent decades, with numerous consequences for forest ecosystems. In particular, small mammal communities are vulnerable to post‐fire shifts in resource availability and play critical ...

Metal toxin threat in wildland fires determined by geology and fire severity. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Abstract Accentuated by climate change, catastrophic wildfires are a growing, distributed global public health risk from inhalation of smoke and dust. Underrecognized, however, are the health threats arising from fire-altered toxic metals natural to soils and plants.

The fire frequency‐severity relationship and the legacy of fire suppression in California forests
Ecosphere, 2015 Fire is one of the most important natural disturbance processes in the western United States and ecosystems differ markedly with respect to their ecological and evolutionary relationships with fire.

Fire Ecology, 2023 Abstract Background Increases in fire activity and changes in fire regimes have been documented in recent decades across the western United States. Climate change is expected to continue to exacerbate impacts to forested ecosystems by increasing the frequency, size, and severity of wildfires across the western United ...

The effects of fire severity on macroinvertebrate detritivores and leaf litter decomposition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 High severity wildfire events are a feature of forests globally and are likely to be more prevalent with climate change. As a disturbance process, fire has the potential to change important ecological functions, such as decomposition, through its impact ...

Fire severity effects on resprouting of subtropical dune thicket of the Cape Floristic Region [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 It has been hypothesised that high-intensity fires prevent fire-dependent fynbos from being replaced by fire-avoiding subtropical thicket on dune landscapes of the Cape Floristic Region (CFR).

Lung on fire: a very severe case of fire-eater’s lung [PDF]
Thorax, 2022 A 19-year-old male smoker presented in the emergency room after accidental aspiration of an unquantifiable amount of Pyrofluid, a liquid mixture of high-boiling aliphatic/paraffin aromatic free hydrocarbons, during a fire-eating performance. A few minutes after the aspiration he started to feel sick, with shortness of breath and mild dry cough.

Ecosphere, 2021 Fire severity is the impact of a fire on the landscape, particularly the physical impact on vegetation. Previous studies have established that the severity of a fire can be influenced by the severity of previous fires.

Forest and Peatland Fire Severity Assessment at Siak Regency, Riau Province using Sentinel-2 Imagery
Journal of Natural Resources and Environmental Management, 2022 Siak Regency, Riau Province is one of the most forest and land fire-prone regencies in Indonesia. Most of the fires occur in peatland areas which contributes to the transboundary haze pollution in the region.
