Forest Reorganisation After Natural Disturbance: A Synthesis
ABSTRACT Aim Natural disturbances are intensifying under global change, yet a global synthesis of their effects on forest structure and composition remains lacking. We aimed to assess the prevalence of structural versus compositional changes and to identify common post‐disturbance reorganisation pathways across forest biomes.

Evolutionary history of fire‐stimulated resprouting, flowering, seed release and germination
ABSTRACTFire has shaped the evolution of many plant traits in fire‐prone environments: fire‐resistant tissues with heat‐insulated meristems, post‐fire resprouting or fire‐killed but regenerating from stored seeds, fire‐stimulated flowering, release of on‐plant‐stored seeds, and germination of soil‐stored seeds.

Total antioxidant activity in Quercus ilex resprouts after fire
After fire, holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) resprouts have a higher light availability and photosynthetic activity than control plants in intact vegetation. To assess the differences in protection between these plants, we determined, in two forests, changes in gas-exchange rates, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, chloroplast pigment content and total ...

Pattern and process of vegetation change (succession) in recent volcanic landscapes of New Zealand and Hawaii [PDF]
Volcanic activity (including lava flows, debris flows and tephra eruptions) is a regular feature of many landscapes of the North Island of New Zealand and the Hawaiian archipelago.

Ecophysiology of after-fire resprouts of Arbutus unedo L
Es comparen les relacions hídriques, la morfologia foliar i les concentracions de pigments, prolina, sucres solubles, antocians i nutrients de les fulles de rebrots d'Arbutus unedo L. després d'un incendi, amb iguals característiques de les fulles de brots de plantes no cremades de la mateixa edat.

Coexistence in fire-prone Mediterranean-type shrublands has been explored in the past using both neutral and niche-based models. However, distinct differences between plant functional types (PFTs), such as fire-killed vs resprouting responses to fire ...

Impact of forest management regimes on ligneous regeneration in the Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso [PDF]
Annual early fire, selective tree cutting and grazing exclusion are currently used to manage the State forests of the Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso, West Africa. Such prescriptions, however, are not based on experimental evidence.

Invasive shrubs are increasingly altering ecosystem structure and reducing biodiversity in eastern deciduous forests of North America. Among the most aggressive invaders are Euonymus alatus (burning bush) and Ligustrum obtusifolium (border privet), both ...
