Anthropogenic activities such as uncontrolled deforestation and increasing greenhouse gas
emissions are responsible for triggering a series of environmental imbalances that affect the …

Increasing wildfire activity in western North America has the potential to remove forest
canopy cover over large areas, increasing the vulnerability of understory plants and juvenile …

Over the past century, fire suppression has facilitated broad ecological changes in the
composition, structure, and function of fire‐dependent landscapes throughout the eastern …

In many temperate, deciduous forests, long-term management suppression has led to
mesophication (cool, damp, and shaded conditions), resulting in habitat with homogenous …

Introduction: Quantifying fire severity is an important aspect of studying the response
mechanism of terrestrial ecosystems to wildfire, and it is of great significance to fire ecology …

The readiness of leaf-litter to burn in the presence of fire differs greatly between species.
Thus, forests composed of different species vary in their susceptibility to fire. Fire …

Non-native invasive plants can promote their dominance in novel ecosystems by
accelerating soil nutrient cycling via interactions with decomposer microbes. Changes in …

Nitrogen deposition and drought significantly influence plant growth and soil
physicochemical properties. This study investigates the effects of nitrogen deposition and …

Fire activity is increasing in many regions. Although increased fire activity is expected to
promote plant invasion, over longer time periods, frequent fire can shift the nutrient status of …

Due to the increased frequency of human–tick encounters and expanding ranges of ticks in
the United States, there is a critical need to identify environmental conditions associated with …
