Interval squeeze: altered fire regimes and demographic responses interact to threaten woody species persistence as climate changes
Projected effects of climate change across many ecosystems globally include more frequent
disturbance by fire and reduced plant growth due to warmer (and especially drier) …

Warmer and drier conditions have increased the potential for large and severe fire seasons across south‐eastern Australia
Abstract Aim The aims were:(1) to identify the environmental drivers of interannual variation
in wildfire extent and severity;(2) to examine temporal trends in climatic potential for large …

Managing consequences of climate‐driven species redistribution requires integration of ecology, conservation and social science
Climate change is driving a pervasive global redistribution of the planet's species. Species
redistribution poses new questions for the study of ecosystems, conservation science and …
