Abstract Purpose of Review The search for causal mechanisms in fire ecology has been
slow to progress for two main reasons. First, many fire ecology investigations often occur …

Abstract Models of first-order fire effects are designed to predict tree mortality, soil heating,
fuel consumption, and smoke production. Some of these models can be used to predict first …

Globally, the increasing fire events in addition to climate change due to the emission of
carbon dioxide (CO2) as well as other greenhouse gases exerts huge pressure on natural …

Wildland fire risk assessment and fuel management planning on federal lands in the US are
complex problems that require state‐of‐the‐art fire behavior modeling and intensive …

Prescribed fire is often used in upland oak forests to achieve objectives related to woodland
restoration or oak regeneration. While not uncommon for prescriptions to include repeated …

Buffelgrass invasions have been documented in Australia to North America, pointing to an
end result of large-scale wildfires. In heavily populated areas such as Nogales, Sonora and …

The robust evaluation of fire impacts on the biota, soil, and atmosphere requires
measurement and analysis methods that can characterize combustion processes across a …

Aims Plant–soil feedback (PSF) is an important mechanism controlling plant growth,
vegetation dynamics, and longer-term and larger-scale patterns of plant community diversity …

Wildland fire managers are often required to predict tree injury and mortality when planning
a prescribed burn or when considering wildfire management options; and, currently …

Fire strongly influences plant populations and communities around the world, making it an
important agent of plant evolution. Fire influences vegetation through multiple pathways …
