Declines in Conifer Forest Recovery and Forest Loss From Four Decades of Wildfire in California
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract California's forests are increasingly being exposed to intense wildfires. Past research has tracked wildfires' impact on these natural lands, yet there remains a critical gap in tracking post‐fire vegetation recovery and its trends, particularly for the extent of different forest types.

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Ornamental plants, including barrier or hedge plants, are important in horticulture. Occurring at the urban to natural barrier, plants are often conflict of interest species. Here, we study the invading ornamental barrier plant Metrosideros excelsa Soland ex Gaertn.

Resprouting sustains cork oak seedlings while recent grazing limits resprouting and survival
Abstract Regeneration failure is a major bottleneck in Mediterranean oak woodlands. Cattle can hinder or promote recruitment, depending on the spatial, temporal, and intensity patterns of grazing.

Structures related to resprouting potential of two Myrtaceae species from Cerrado: morpho-anatomical and chemical studies [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasResprouting is a functional trait in species which occur in fire-prone ecosystems. These plants can resprout from aerial buds and by recruiting belowground bud bank using carbohydrates allocated in roots as resource.

The fallow period as a weed-break in shifting cultivation (tropical wet forests) [PDF]
, 1995 In the wet tropics weeds can grow all year round. In shifting cultivation systems the fallow period is used to restrain the development of weeds because they threaten the re-use of the land.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.In total, we recorded 160 unique grass species across four savanna ecosystems dominated by different tree genera. These savannas support distinct grassy assemblages, but common grasses are often shared between ecosystems. ABSTRACT Southeast Asian savannas are some of the least studied ecosystems, with understanding of their function and resilience ...

High Mortality of Huisache (Vachellia farnesiana) with Extreme Fire During Drought
FireThe almost complete eradication of fire from grasslands in North America has led to non-linear hysteretic transitions to shrub- and woodlands that the reintroduction of low-intensity fire is unable to reverse.
