Ecological memory is central to how ecosystems respond to disturbance and is maintained
by two types of legacies–information and material. Species life‐history traits represent an …

Increasingly, severe wildfires have led to declines in biodiversity across all of Earth's
vegetated biomes [DB McWethy et al., Nat. Sustain. 2, 797–804 (2019)]. Unfortunately, the …

Mountain forests are among the most important ecosystems in Europe as they support
numerous ecological, hydrological, climatic, social, and economic functions. They are …

The effects of human activity on geomorphic processes, particularly those related to
denudation/sedimentation, are investigated by reviewing case studies and global …

In the context of ongoing climatic warming, certain landscapes could be near a tipping point
where relatively small changes to their fire regimes or their postfire forest recovery dynamics …

In the context of global warming and increasing impacts of invasive plants and animals, we
examine how positive fire–vegetation feedbacks are increasing the vulnerability of …

Detailed information about the historical range of variability in wildfire activity informs
adaptation to future climate and disturbance regimes. Here, we describe one of the first …

Wildfires are an integral part of most terrestrial ecosystems. Paleofire records composed of
charcoal, soot, and other combustion products deposited in lake and marine sediments …

Fire frequency and severity are key parameters in evaluating fire-mediated changes in
ecosystems, but these metrics are rarely reconstructed at extensive temporal scales. Notably …

Forests that regenerate exclusively from seed following high‐severity fire are particularly
vulnerable to local extinction if fire frequency leaves insufficient time for regenerating plants …
