Where and why do conifer forests persist in refugia through multiple fire events?
Changing wildfire regimes are causing rapid shifts in forests worldwide. In particular,
forested landscapes that burn repeatedly in relatively quick succession may be at risk of …

Climate change and altered fire regimes: impacts on plant populations, species, and ecosystems in both hemispheres
BJ Harvey, NJ Enright - Plant Ecology, 2022 - Springer
Extreme fire seasons in both hemispheres in 2019 and 2020 have highlighted the strong link
between climate warming and altered fire regimes. While shifts in fire regimes alone can …
