Ecologists have long studied patterns, directions and tempos of change, but there is a
pressing need to extend current understanding to empirical observations of abrupt changes …

The role of climate in shaping the postglacial history of Patagonia (41–55° S) east of the
Andes is evident in new pollen and charcoal data from Mallín Fontanito (44.91 o S, 71.57 o …

Warming trends are altering fire regimes globally, potentially impacting on the long-term
persistence of some ecosystems. However, we still lack clear understanding of how climatic …

New Zealand was among the last habitable places on earth to be colonized by humans.
Charcoal records indicate that wildfires were rare prior to colonization and widespread …

Native and introduced species can coexist in rich ecosystems where competition for
resources is less intense; however, native species can be excluded from suitable habitats …

Short-interval and high-severity fires combined are emerging as a catalyst of major
reorganization of understory plant communities. In temperate forests of south-central Chile …

Aim The aim of the study was to investigate postfire regeneration patterns of Araucaria‐
Nothofagus forests on the west slope of the Andes; to evaluate the relationship between …

Abstract Western Patagonia (40–56° S) is a clear example of how the systematic lack of
publicly available data and poor quality control protocols have hindered further …

Forest dynamics are driven by top-down changes in climate and bottom-up positive
(destabilizing) and negative (stabilizing) biophysical feedbacks involving disturbance and …

The interactions between fire occurrence-human-climate are highly complex to understand
and also difficult to predict due to having many sources of variations in fire regimes …
