Effects of a fire response trait on diversification in replicated radiations. [PDF]

, 2014
Fire has been proposed as a factor explaining the exceptional plant species richness found in Mediterranean regions. A fire response trait that allows plants to cope with frequent fire by either reseeding or resprouting could differentially affect rates ...

Tree planting choices mediate wildfire damage to tropical forest restoration in eastern Madagascar

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Wildfires threaten tropical rainforest conservation and restoration around the world, and they pose a particular risk to the unique species assemblages in eastern Madagascar. Following an intense period of wildfires in 2020–2022 that impacted 33% of 46 tropical forest restoration sites installed by the non‐profit organization Green Again Madagascar ...

Biogeography of seeder and resprouterEricaspecies in the Cape Floristic Region—Where are the resprouters? [PDF]

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1998
Abstract The genus Erica L., with more than 600 species, and a high number of endemics, represents the most remarkable example of floristic diversity in the Cape Floristic Region (CFR). It is largely confined to nutrient-poor, acidic, sandy soils, being one of the most characteristic element of fynbos. The ability to survive fires, resprouting from a

Fire effects on the population structure of Zanthoxylum rhoifolium Lam (Rutaceae) in a Brazilian savanna

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Since cerrado fires may impede the growth of seedlings into trees, they may shape the population of woody species. In this study, we assessed the effects of a severe fire on the population structure and spatial distribution of Zanthoxylum rhoifolium, a ...

Tree species’ tolerance to water stress, salinity and fire [PDF]

, 2011
According to climate change predictions, water availability might change dramatically in Europe and adjacent regions. This change will undoubtedly have an adverse effect on existing tree species and affect their ability to cope with a lack or an excess ...

Xylem and soil CO2 fluxes in a Quercus pyrenaica Willd. coppice: Root respiration increases with clonal size [PDF]

, 2015
Xylem and soil CO2 fluxes in coppiced oak forests increase with clonal size suggesting larger expenditures of energy for root respiration. An imbalance between root demand and shoot production of carbohydrates may contribute to the degradation of ...

Enhancing post‐fire decision‐making: a framework for rapid wildfire impact assessment and evidence‐based management planning

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Altered wildfire regimes, exacerbated by unsustainable management, threaten natural ecosystem recovery post‐fire. Effective restoration requires timely fire impact assessments and tailored, evidence‐based management. While fire databases and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) frameworks partially support decision‐making, a ...

Light energy dissipation in Quercus ilex resprouts after fire

Australian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2000
Holm oak ( Quercus ilex ) plants that have resprouted after fire have higher photosynthetic capacity than control plants in intact vegetation. In this study, branches detached from forest plants were fed with dithiothreitol (DTT) in the laboratory to inhibit zeaxanthin production and thus reduce the dissipation of light energy as heat.

Influence of fire frequency on Colophospermum mopane and Combretum apiculatum woodland structure and composition in northern Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe [PDF]

, 2009
We investigated the long-term effects of fire frequency on Colophospermum mopane and Combretum apiculatum woodland structure and composition in northern Gonarezhou National Park (GNP), Zimbabwe.
