Abstract Purpose of Review The increasing impact of droughts, wildfires and windstorms in
temperate areas poses a significant challenge to the adaptation capacity of forests and their …

The 12-site National Fire and Fire Surrogate study (FFS) was a multivariate experiment that
evaluated ecological consequences of alternative fuel-reduction treatments in seasonally …

Exploring the role of fire in each of the five Mediterranean-type climate ecosystems, this
book offers a unique view of the evolution of fire-adapted traits and the role of fire in shaping …

Although recent work has shown that both deterministic and stochastic processes are
important in structuring microbial communities, the factors that affect the relative …

For the last 23years, low-severity prescribed fire has been used to decrease shade and fire
tolerant tree species, increase oak (Quercus spp.), and increase herbaceous plant diversity …

Restoring the natural fire regime to forested systems that have experienced fire exclusion
throughout the past century can be a challenge due to the heavy fuel loading conditions …

Non‐linear and interacting effects of fire severity and time since fire may help explain how
pyrodiversity promotes biodiversity in fire‐adapted systems. We built on previous research …

Prescribed burning is a common silvicultural practice used in the management of longleaf
pine (Pinus palustris Mill., Pinales: Pinaceae) savannas to reduce hardwood encroachment …

Aims Biocrusts are globally distributed and important for sustaining critical ecosystem
functions. Little is known about their continental drivers and how smaller-scale microsite …

Spatially explicit reconstructions of fire activity in European boreal forest are rare, which
limits our understanding of factors driving vegetation dynamics in this part of the boreal …
