DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9919
Abstract: Abstract Many plants undergo adaptation to fire. Yet, as global change is increasing fire frequency worldwide, our understanding of the genetics of adaptation to fire is still limited. We studied the genetic basis of serotiny… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11769-017-0928-0
Abstract: Understanding the spatiotemporal links between drought and forest fire occurrence is crucial for improving decision-making in fire management under current and future climatic conditions. We quantified forest fire activity in Mexico using georeferenced fire records… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.118922
Abstract: Abstract Post-fire recovery of sites in the Chilean Mediterranean vegetation were evaluated 20–30 years after the last fire. We mapped all fires that occurred between 1985 and 2015 in Central Chile using Landsat images. In order… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119484
Abstract: Abstract Increased fire frequency is predicted in global forests over the 21st century owing to climate change. Fire–averse animals are expected to be negatively impacted by frequent wildfire events, or corresponding habitat alteration and reduction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41561-020-0633-y
Abstract: Volcanic-driven nutrient flux to the oceans stimulated marine productivity and organic matter burial during Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2; ~94 million years ago). While the preferential burial of 13C-depleted organic matter led to a general… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-02169-3
Abstract: Wildfire regimes are being altered in ecosystems worldwide. The density of reptiles responds to fires and changes to habitat structure. Some of the most vulnerable ecosystems to human-increased fire frequency are old-growth Araucaria araucana forests… read more here.

Re-introducing fire in sagebrush steppe experiencing decreased fire frequency: does burning promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "International Journal of Wildland Fire"
DOI: 10.1071/wf20018
Abstract: Fire frequency has decreased in many shrub-steppe communities. Re-introducing fire may be needed to increase spatial and temporal variability in vegetation, but is often hindered by concerns of undesired vegetation shifts. These concerns arise, in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13676
Abstract: Hysteresis is a fundamental characteristic of alternative stable state theory, yet evidence of hysteresis is rare. In mesic grasslands, fire frequency regulates transition from grass- to shrub-dominated system states. It is uncertain, however, if increasing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvs.12528
Abstract: Aims Savanna and forest biomes co-occur across many subtropical landscapes in Africa, and can be differentiated by their fire regime: fires are more frequent in savannas compared to forests. Bark thickness is a key trait… read more here.
