Recent observations of elevated tree mortality following climate extremes, like heat and
drought, raise concerns about climate change risks to global forest health. We currently lack …

Ecosystems are dynamic systems with complex responses to environmental variation. In
response to pervasive stressors of changing climate and disturbance regimes, many …

Many natural disturbances have a strong climate forcing, and concern is rising about how
ecosystems will respond to disturbance regimes to which they are not adapted. Novelty can …

Record‐breaking fire seasons in many regions across the globe raise important questions
about plant community responses to shifting fire regimes (ie, changing fire frequency …

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 …

Mediterranean agriculture has coevolved with harsh environments and changing climate
conditions over millennia, generating an extremely rich heritage of traditional knowledge; …

Projected effects of climate change across many ecosystems globally include more frequent
disturbance by fire and reduced plant growth due to warmer (and especially drier) …

Disentangling species strategies that confer resilience to natural disturbances is key to
conserving and restoring savanna ecosystems. Fire is a recurrent disturbance in savannas …

Recent extreme wildfire seasons in several regions have been associated with exceptionally
hot, dry conditions, made more probable by climate change. Much research has focused on …

Forests cover over a third of the total land area of Europe. In recent years, large forest fires
have repeatedly affected Europe, in particular the Mediterranean countries. Fire danger is …
