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 …

Heat injuries sustained in a fire can initiate a cascade of complex mechanisms that affect the
physiology of trees after fires. Uncovering the exact physiological mechanisms and relating …

Each year wildland fires kill and injure trees on millions of forested hectares globally,
affecting plant and animal biodiversity, carbon storage, hydrologic processes, and …

Pervasive warming can lead to chronic stress on forest trees, which may contribute to
mortality resulting from fire‐caused injuries. Longitudinal analyses of forest plots from across …

Over the past 15 years, 3 million hectares of forests have been converted into shrublands or
grasslands in the Mediterranean countries of the European Union. Fire and drought are the …

Disruption of photosynthesis and carbon transport due to damage to the tree crown and
stem cambial cells, respectively, can cause tree mortality. It has recently been proposed that …

The dead foliage of scorched crowns is one of the most conspicuous signatures of wildland
fires. Globally, crown scorch from fires in savannas, woodlands and forests causes tree …

The most destructive wildland fires occur in mixtures of living and dead vegetation, yet very
little attention has been given to the fundamental differences between factors that control …

It is widely assumed that post‐fire tree mortality results from necrosis of phloem and vascular
cambium in stems, despite strong evidence that reduced xylem conductivity also plays an …

Plant hydraulics is crucial for assessing the plants' capacity to extract and transport water
from the soil up to their aerial organs. Along with their capacity to exchange water between …
