Fire Induced Reproductive Mechanisms of a Symphoricarpos (Caprifoliaceae) Shrub after Dormant Season Burning [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Symphoricarpos, a genus of the Caprifoliaceae family, consists of about 15 species of clonal deciduous shrubs in North America and 1 species endemic to China.

Divergent shifts in hydraulic versus carbon acquisition functional traits after wildfire in four Rocky Mountain tree species

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change has increased the frequency and severity of drought and large wildfire events across western North America. Despite the increasing concurrence of drought and wildfire events and the importance of forests as a global carbon sink, the impacts of fire on ...

An Inventory of Tree and Stand Growth Empirical Modelling Approaches with Potential Application in Coppice Forestry (a Review)

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2015
We examined currently available empirical growth models which could be potentially applicable to coppice growth and production modelling. We compiled a summary of empirical models applied in coppices, high forests and fast-growing tree plantations ...

The post‐fire recovery of soil seed banks along a fire severity gradient in an Australian threatened mesic forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change has increased the likelihood of extreme events, increasing the number of days with dangerous fire weather conditions, resulting in fires with increased severity, frequency and extent.

Burn Severity Effect on the Short-Term Functional Response of Quercus ilex after Fire

Fire, 2023
Understanding how fire severity affects resprouting plants during post-fire regeneration is key to anticipating Mediterranean vegetation vulnerability in a context of increasingly large fires with high intensity and severity due to climate change.

Vegetation response to invasive Tamarix control in southwestern U.S. rivers: a collaborative study including 416 sites [PDF]

, 2017
Most studies assessing vegetation response following control of invasive Tamarix trees along southwestern U.S. rivers have been small in scale (e.g., river reach), or at a regional scale but with poor spatial-temporal replication, and most have not ...

Populus tremuloides seedling establishment: An underexplored vector for forest type conversion after multiple disturbances [PDF]

, 2017
Ecosystem resilience to climate change is contingent on post-disturbance plant regeneration. Sparse gymnosperm regeneration has been documented in subalpine forests following recent wildfires and compounded disturbances, both of which are increasing.

Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced

Evolutionary ecology of resprouting and seeding in fire‐prone ecosystems

New Phytologist, 2014
SummaryThere are two broad mechanisms by which plant populations persist under recurrent disturbances: resprouting from surviving tissues, and seedling recruitment. Species can have one of these mechanisms or both. However, a coherent framework explaining the differential evolutionary pressures driving these regeneration mechanisms is lacking.

Improved simulation of fire–vegetation interactions in the Land surface Processes and eXchanges dynamic global vegetation model (LPX-Mv1) [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2014
The Land surface Processes and eXchanges (LPX) model is a fire-enabled dynamic global vegetation model that performs well globally but has problems representing fire regimes and vegetative mix in savannas. Here we focus on improving the fire module.
