DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2018.03.063
Abstract: The extensive abandonment of agricultural lands in the Mediterranean basin has led to large landscapes being dominated by early-successional species, characterized by high flammability and an increasing fire risk. This fact promotes fire occurrence and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcaf225
Abstract: Abstract Background and Aims The maintenance of seed banks and timing of germination are fundamental to ensuring population persistence. Physical dormancy (PY) in disturbance-prone environments contributes to these processes via an impermeable seed coat. Dormancy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2024.0001
Abstract: Fire regimes are changing across the globe, with new wildfire behaviour phenomena and increasing impacts felt, especially in ecosystems without clear adaptations to wildfire. These trends pose significant challenges to the scientific community in understanding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lgrs.2022.3188259
Abstract: In the absence of historical fire records, end users intend to adopt free satellite-derived fire products, including global burn area (BA) and active fire (AF) products, to understand the historical fire dynamics for better forest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/brv.12486
Abstract: Movement is a trait of fundamental importance in ecosystems subject to frequent disturbances, such as fire‐prone ecosystems. Despite this, the role of movement in facilitating responses to fire has received little attention. Herein, we consider… read more here.

Fire as a key driver of Earth's biodiversity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biological Reviews"
DOI: 10.1111/brv.12544
Abstract: Many terrestrial ecosystems are fire prone, such that their composition and structure are largely due to their fire regime. Regions subject to regular fire have exceptionally high levels of species richness and endemism, and fire… read more here.

Fire and functional traits: Using functional groups of birds and plants to guide management in a fire‐prone, heathy woodland ecosystem
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Diversity and Distributions"
DOI: 10.1111/ddi.13278
Abstract: Many dry forests and woodlands worldwide are fire‐prone and support bird and plant communities shaped by fire. Changes in fire regimes, including the time between fires, have important implications for population trajectories. We studied the… read more here.

DOI: 10.5751/es-08841-220125
Abstract: Fire-prone landscapes present many challenges for both managers and policy makers in developing adaptive behaviors and institutions. We used a coupled human and natural systems framework and an agent-based landscape model to examine how alternative… read more here.
