The occurrence of large and recurring forest fires has long been associated with fire-prone
environments, but this perception has been shifted rapidly in recent decades as Earths' …

Fallen plant material such as leaves, needles and branches form litter beds which strongly
influence fire ignition and spread. Traits of the dominant species influence litter flammability …

Fire regimes are changing due to both anthropogenic climatic drivers and vegetation
management challenges, making it difficult to determine how climate alone might influence …

A minuscule fraction of the Earth's paleobiological diversity is preserved in the geological
record as fossils. What plant remnants have withstood taphonomic filtering, fragmentation …

The king protea (Protea cynaroides), an early‐diverging eudicot, is the most iconic species
from the Megadiverse Cape Floristic Region, and the national flower of South Africa …

Mediterranean climate regions have become more vulnerable to fire due to the extreme
weather conditions and numerous Eucalyptus globulus plantation areas. The aim of this …

Plant flammability research has proven pivotal in comprehending the contribution of
vegetation to the flammability of forest ecosystems. Yet, the relationship between many leaf …

The influence of humans on the boreal forest has altered the temporal and spatial patterns of
wildfire activity through modification of the physical environment and through fire …

Loss of peat through increased burning will have major impacts on the global carbon cycle.
In a normal hydrological state, the risk of fire propagation is largely controlled by peat bulk …

Biological decomposition and wildfire are two predominant and alternative processes that
can mineralize organic C in forest litter. Currently, the relationships between decomposition …
