Sphagnum abundance and photosynthetic capacity show rapid short-term recovery following managed burning [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Prescribed burning in peatlands is controversial due to concerns over damage to their ecological functioning, particularly regarding their key genus Sphagnum. However, empirical evidence is scarce.

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.Concepts and models of fire refugia are increasingly components of forest management and adaptation discussions in the context of wildland fire, forest and habitat conservation, and global change. Here we provide an overview of fire refugia concepts and products being actively developed and applied in forests of the PNW (Washington, Oregon, California),

Recent global and regional trends in burned area and their compensating environmental controls [PDF]
, 2019 The apparent decline in the global incidence of fire between 1996 and 2015, as measured by satellite- observations of burned area, has been related to socioeconomic and land use changes.

Global variation in ecoregion flammability thresholds
Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 7, July 2024.Anthropogenic climate change is altering the state of worldwide fire regimes, including by increasing the number of days per year when vegetation is dry enough to burn. Indices representing the percent moisture content of dead fine fuels as derived from meteorological data have been used to assess geographic patterns and temporal trends in vegetation ...

Have Historical Land Use/Land Cover Changes Triggered a Fire Regime Shift in Central Spain?
Fire, 2019 Fire is one of the main disturbance factors shaping the landscape, and landscape is a key driver of fire behavior. Considering the role played by land use and land cover (LULC) changes as the main driver of landscape dynamics, the aim of this study was ...

Causal relationships vs. emergent patterns in the global controls of fire frequency [PDF]
, 2014 Global controls on month-by-month fractional burnt area (2000–2005) were investigated by fitting a generalised linear model (GLM) to Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED) data, with 11 predictor variables representing vegetation, climate, land use and ...

Megafire: An ambiguous and emotive term best avoided by science
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 341-351, February 2024.Abstract Background As fire regimes are changing and wildfire disasters are becoming more frequent, the term megafire is increasingly used to describe impactful wildfires, under multiple meanings, both in academia and popular media. This has resulted in a highly ambiguous concept.

The discovery of fire by humans: a long and convoluted process [PDF]
, 2016 Numbers of animal species react to the natural phenomenon of fire, but only humans have learnt to control it and to make it at will. Natural fires caused overwhelmingly by lightning are highly evident on many landscapes.
