Naturalistic plantings, such as meadow‐style plantings, can improve the quality of urban
green spaces through aesthetic, biodiversity and low maintenance features. Species …

Information from a field perspective on temperature thresholds related to physical dormancy
(PY) alleviation and seed resistance to high temperatures of fire is crucial to disentangle fire …

In many fire-prone habitats fires may be relatively frequent but of low severity or small areal
extent. However, these same habitats may occasionally be subject to large, severe fires …

The fine-scale effects of fire and the consequences for seed survival are poorly understood,
especially in the Cerrado (Brazilian savannas). Thus, we investigated whether vegetation …

Although fire occurrence plays a central role in the dominance of the super-dominant
bracken fern Pteridium arachnoideum in Neotropical forests, it is unclear whether this …

Edge influence, characterized by differences in ecosystem characteristics between the edge
and the interior of remnants in fragmented landscapes, affects a variety of organisms and …

Anthropogenic forest fires are occurring with increasing frequency in tropical forests, with
negative consequences for a variety of ecological processes, including litterfall. Litterfall …

Anthropogenic fires are an increasing threat to tropical savannas and their plant
populations. In the Brazilian Cerrado, human‐made fires at the end of the dry season are …

Vegetation structural diversity, also called structural complexity, has great effects on
biodiversity and ecological processes, with higher biodiversity often observed in areas with …

Fire is a recurrent disturbance in savanna vegetation and savanna species are adapted to it.
Even so, fire may affect various aspects of plant ecology, including phenology. We studied …
