Riparian corridors in Mediterranean-climate regions (med-regions) are resource-rich
habitats within water-limited, larger landscapes. However, little is known about how their …

Mediterranean climate ecosystems are among the most fire-prone in the world; however,
little is known about the effects of fire on mediterranean streams (med-streams). Fire impacts …

Exploring the role of fire in each of the five Mediterranean-type climate ecosystems, this
book offers a unique view of the evolution of fire-adapted traits and the role of fire in shaping …

Topography acts as a template for numerous landscape processes that include hydrologic,
ecologic, and biologic phenomena. These processes not only interact with each other but …

Riparian Ecosystems in Western North America: An Analysis of Existing Literature. Journal …

It is a truism in geomorphology that climatic events operate on a landscape to drive sediment
transport processes, yet few investigations have formally linked climate and terrain …

Data from 37 sites in the Transverse Ranges in southern California were used to assess the
influence of a variety of environmental variables on among-site variation in riparian …

A combination of satellite image indices and in-field observations was used to investigate
the impact of fuel conditions, fire behavior, and vegetation regrowth patterns, altered by …

In southern California, wildfire is a ubiquitous agent shaping plant communities. Although
fire impacts have been widely studied in chaparral-covered uplands, few data are available …

Riparian vegetation plays an integral role in the ecology of the streams it borders, and in
many western US forests, is subjected to frequent wildfire disturbances. Many questions …
