Knowing how species respond to fire regimes is essential for ecologically sustainable
management. This axiom raises two important questions:(1) what knowledge is the most …

Fire is a natural disturbance that exerts an important influence on global ecosystems,
affecting vegetation distribution and structure, the carbon cycle and climate. However …

Wildfires underpin the dynamics and diversity of many ecosystems worldwide, and plants
show a plethora of adaptive traits for persisting recurrent fires. Many fire-prone ecosystems …

Trophic cascades—the top-down regulation of ecosystems by predators—are an essential
aspect of ecosystem function and well-being. Trophic cascades are often drastically …

Forests and grassy vegetation (savannas and grasslands) are alternative ecosystem states
in many tropical landscapes. Relative to forests the grassy ecosystems are poorly known …

Every year large proportions of northern Australia's tropical savanna landscapes are burnt,
resulting in high fire frequencies and short intervals between fires. The dominant fire …

1. Despite the fact that fire is considered an important disturbance in savannas across the
world and is used widely as a management tool in conservation areas, little is known about …

The high herbivore diversity in savanna systems has been attributed to the inherent spatial
and temporal heterogeneity related to the quantity and quality of food resources. Allometric …

Aim A common strategy for conserving biodiversity in fire‐prone environments is to maintain
a diversity of post‐fire age classes at the landscape scale, under the assumption that …

With grasslands and savannas covering 20% of the world's land surface, accounting for 30–
35% of worldwide Net Primary Productivity and supporting hundreds of millions of people …
