Research into post-wildfire effects began in the United States more than 70years ago and
only later extended to other parts of the world. Post-wildfire responses are typically transient …

Maintaining or enhancing the productive capacity and resilience of rangeland ecosystems is
critical for the continued support of people who depend on them for their livelihoods …

Woody vegetation in grasslands and savannas has increased worldwide over the past 100–
200 years. This phenomenon of “woody plant encroachment”(WPE) has been documented …

Theoretically, fire–tree cover feedbacks can maintain savanna and forest as alternative
stable states. However, the global extent of fire-driven discontinuities in tree cover is …

Trophic cascades—the top-down regulation of ecosystems by predators—are an essential
aspect of ecosystem function and well-being. Trophic cascades are often drastically …

The widespread extirpation of megafauna may have destabilized ecosystems and altered
biodiversity globally. Most megafauna extinctions occurred before the modern record …

In spite of overwhelming experimental evidence to the contrary, rotational grazing continues
to be promoted and implemented as the only viable grazing strategy. The goals of this …

Our understanding of fire and grazing is largely based on small‐scale experimental studies
in which treatments are uniformly applied to experimental units that are considered …

Disturbances are fundamental components of ecosystems and, in many cases, a dominant
driver of ecosystem structure and function at multiple spatial and temporal scales. While the …

Herbivores are regulated by predation under certain environmental conditions, whereas
under others they are limited by forage abundance and nutritional quality. Whether top-down …
