Fire is an ancient tool but still widely used in the management of southern pine forests. Fire
is a relatively inexpensive tool and has a number of beneficial uses such as removing …

Aim (1) To estimate the local and global magnitude of carbon fluxes between savanna and
the atmosphere, and to suggest the significance of savannas in the global carbon cycle.(2) …

Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) has already led to several studies mainly focused on
underlying molecular mechanisms and applications to agriculture. We argue that it is also …

Tropical savanna and forest are recognized to represent alternate stable states, primarily
determined by feedbacks with fire. Vegetation–fire dynamics in each of these vegetation …

A series of nine large‐scale, open fires was conducted in the Intermountain Fire Sciences
Laboratory (IFSL) controlled‐environment combustion facility. The fuels were pure pine …

Dry season fires are a feature of the tropical savannas of northern Australia. As part of a
landscape‐scale fire experiment, we examined the effects of fire regimes on tree survival in …

Over millions of years, terrestrial plants have competed for limited resources, defended
themselves against herbivores, and resisted a myriad of environmental stresses. These …

Considerable research has been undertaken over the past two decades to apply remote
sensing to the study of fire regimes across the savannas of northern Australia. This work has …

We review the current understandings of the frequency, spatial distributions, mechanisms,
and ecological consequences of fire in riparian zones. Riparian zones are well known for …

Landscape fires show large variability in the amount of biomass or fuel consumed per unit
area burned. Fuel consumption (FC) depends on the biomass available to burn and the …
