Wildfire refugia (unburnt patches within large wildfires) are important for the persistence of
fire‐sensitive species across forested landscapes globally. A key challenge is to identify the …

Surface fuel loads are a key driver of forest fires and the target of hazard reduction burns to
reduce fire risk. However, the role of biota in decomposition, or feedbacks between fire and …

Question Frequent severe wildfires have the potential to alter the structure and composition
of forests in temperate biomes. While temperate forests dominated by resprouting trees are …

Context In many regions of the world, Indigenous people continue to shape landscape
patterns using fire. Some studies show that Indigenous fire regimes create a diverse “visible …

Recent logging and wildfire have been linked to increased fire severity in forests around the
world. The mechanisms driving this association are uncertain but increased vertical fuel …

Research highlights—Feedbacks between fire severity, vegetation structure and ecosystem
flammability are understudied in highly fire-tolerant forests that are dominated by epicormic …

Fire is an important disturbance in forest ecosystems globally. Many of the effects of fire on
forest processes are mediated through effects on vegetation structure. Understanding how …

Aim The increasing availability of regional and global climate data presents an opportunity
to build better ecological models; however, it is not always clear which climate dataset is …

Extreme weather can have significant impacts on plant species demography; however, most
studies have focused on responses to a single or small number of extreme events. Long …

Disturbance history is known to affect fire risk by altering fuel dynamics, but the effects of
disturbance on micro-meteorological conditions that influence fire are poorly understood …
