Fire and biodiversity in the Anthropocene
BACKGROUND Fire has shaped the diversity of life on Earth for millions of years. Variation
in fire regimes continues to be a source of biodiversity across the globe, and many plants …

Fire as a key driver of Earth's biodiversity
Many terrestrial ecosystems are fire prone, such that their composition and structure are
largely due to their fire regime. Regions subject to regular fire have exceptionally high levels …

Pyrosilviculture needed for landscape resilience of dry western United States forests
A significant increase in treatment pace and scale is needed to restore dry western US forest
resilience owing to increasingly frequent and severe wildfire and drought. We propose a …

Pyrodiversity and biodiversity: A history, synthesis, and outlook
Aim Pyrodiversity is the spatial or temporal variability in fire effects across a landscape.
Multiple ecological hypotheses, when applied to the context of post‐fire systems, suggest …

High fire frequency and the impact of the 2019–2020 megafires on Australian plant diversity
Aim To quantify the impact of the 2019–2020 megafires on Australian plant diversity by
assessing burnt area across 26,062 species ranges and the effects of fire history on …

Fire and climate change: conserving seasonally dry forests is still possible
The destructive wildfires that occurred recently in the western US starkly foreshadow the
possible future of forest ecosystems and human communities in the region. With increases in …

Using fire to promote biodiversity
Fire profoundly influences people, climate, and ecosystems (1). The impacts of this
interaction are likely to grow, with climate models forecasting widespread increases in fire …

Tamm Review: Postfire landscape management in frequent-fire conifer forests of the southwestern United States
The increasing incidence of wildfires across the southwestern United States (US) is altering
the contemporary forest management template within historically frequent-fire conifer forests …

Ecological resilience and vegetation transition in the face of two successive large wildfires
Wildfire can both promote and erode resilience to future disturbances in fire‐adapted
ecosystems. Through a combination of past fire exclusion and climate change, fire patterns …

[HTML][HTML] Responses from bees, butterflies, and ground beetles to different fire and site characteristics: a global meta-analysis
Climate change in concert with fire suppression is increasing the size, severity and
frequency of fires globally. At the same time, insects, an exceptionally biodiverse group that …
