Large, severe wildfires can cause unpredictable changes in Mediterranean plant
communities that undermine ecosystem resilience. Understanding the geophysical drivers …

Forest managers demand reliable and cost-efficient methodologies to implement forest
resilience concepts in post-fire decision-making at different spatio-temporal scales. In this …

A number of methods are used to assess the soil seed banks of a range of plant species in
various habitats around the world, with approaches that differ between countries and …

Many plants rely on soil seedbanks to persist in fire‐prone ecosystems. However,
knowledge of plant responses to fire is largely based on above‐ground dynamics …

The objectives of this study were to evaluate woody-species composition and seed density
in the soil seed bank (SSB) in a dry subtropical forest with different disturbance regimes and …

Vegetation structural complexity (VSC) plays an essential role in the functioning and the
stability of fire-prone Mediterranean ecosystems. However, we currently lack knowledge …

Weed control is considered a critical management operation for the establishment and
growth of Eucalyptus globulus and is often performed during the first two years following …

Aims Tropical tree lines are often associated with abrupt shifts in vegetation, soils and
disturbance regimes, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We analysed …

Background Mediterranean shrublands are composed of species that have different
regeneration strategies after fire and soil seed bank types. However, differences over the …

Questions Fire intensity influences the soil seed bank in fire‐prone environments. The aim of
this investigation was to study the effects of fire intensity on seed germination and seedling …
