Recent wildfire outbreaks around the world have prompted concern that climate change is
increasing fire incidence, threatening human livelihood and biodiversity, and perpetuating …

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

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

Wildfires are often perceived as destructive disturbances, but we propose that when
integrating evolutionary and socioecological factors, fires in most ecosystems can be …
