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

Fire is a powerful ecological and evolutionary force that regulates organismal traits,
population sizes, species interactions, community composition, carbon and nutrient cycling …

Fire suppression is the primary management response to wildfires in many areas globally.
By removing less-extreme wildfires, this approach ensures that remaining wildfires burn …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Forest fire disaster is currently the subject of intense research worldwide. The development
of accurate strategies to prevent potential impacts and minimize the occurrence of disastrous …

Fire has been an ecosystem process since plants colonized land over 400 million years ago.
Many diverse traits provide a fitness benefit following fires, and these adaptive traits vary …

No single factor produces wildfires; rather, they occur when fire thresholds (ignitions, fuels,
and drought) are crossed. Anomalous weather events may lower these thresholds and …

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 …

How coniferous forests evolved in the Northern Hemisphere remains largely unknown.
Unlike most groups of organisms that generally follow a latitudinal diversity gradient, most …
