Wildfire is a widespread natural hazard that is expected to increase in areal extent, severity
and frequency with ongoing changes in climate and land-use. One tool that has been used …

Roughly 3% of the Earth's land surface burns annually, representing a critical exchange of
energy and matter between the land and atmosphere via combustion. Fires range from slow …

Background Vegetation plays a crucial role in the ignition, propagation, and severity of fire,
and understanding the relationship between plants and fire through flammability attributes …

Invasive species can cause shifts in vegetation composition and fire regimes by initiating
positive vegetation-fire feedbacks. To understand the mechanisms underpinning these …

The introduction of non-native pine plantations and subsequent pine invasion are
increasingly affecting native and high conservation value forests in the Southern …

Aims Invasion by annual grasses (IAGs) and concomitant increases in wildfire are impacting
many drylands globally, and an understanding of factors that contribute to or detract from …

The increase in size and frequency of wildfires in sagebrush steppe ecosystems has
significant impacts on sagebrush obligate species. We modeled seasonal habitat use by …

Wildfires in the Arctic tundra have become increasingly frequent in recent years and have
important implications for tundra ecosystems and for the global carbon cycle. Lake sediment …

Plant flammability varies across species, but the evolutionary basis for this variation is not
well understood. Phylogenetic analysis of interspecific variation in flammability can provide …

The invasion of exotic annual grasses including cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum),
medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae), and North Africa grass (Ventenata dubia) …
