Like a moth to a flame: the effect of megafires on pollinators and pollination systems
Fire is a natural part of many ecosystems, however, as a consequence of climate change,
unusually large 'megafires' are expected to increase in occurrence. Given their large spatial …

[HTML][HTML] Short-interval, high-severity wildfires cause declines in soil seed bank diversity in montane forests of south-eastern Australia
Wildfires in forested ecosystems are increasing in severity and extent. The adaptations many
plants have acquired in response to their natural fire regime may not be sufficient to allow …
