Mechanisms by which growth and succession limit the impact of fire in a south‐western Australian forested ecosystem
Forest wildfire impact is widely believed to increase with time since disturbance, presenting
a dilemma for the persistence of fire‐sensitive species. However, in south‐western Australia …

Increasing radiant heat flux affects leaf flammability patterns in plant species of eastern Australian fire‐prone woodlands
DW Krix, ML Murray, BR Murray - Plant Biology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Leaf flammability is a functional trait that can vary widely among plant species. At present,
however, the effects that increasing radiant heat flux have on variation in leaf flammability …

A global perspective of the functional trait responses of graminoids to the seasonality of fire
In fire-prone ecosystems, plant resilience to recurrent fires depends on certain fire-adaptive
traits. However, how key functional and reproductive traits of graminoids respond to varying …
