Fuel treatments aimed at reducing both horizontal and vertical continuity in fuels are of paramount importance as a prevention measure against fire propagation. Possible …
The interactions between fire and grazing are widespread throughout fire‐dependent landscapes. The utilization of burned areas by grazing animals establishes the fire–grazing …
Despite the importance of fire and herbivory in structuring savanna systems, few replicated experiments have examined the interactive effects of herbivory and fire on plant dynamics. In …
Ecological memory, often determined by the extent and type of retained biological legacies present following disturbance, may produce persistent landscape patterns. However, after …

Determining the drivers of plant demography is integral to understanding the processes that shape plant species abundances and distributions. Despite recognition that interactions …
Little is known about the interactive effects of multiple forms of disturbance–natural or anthropogenic–on plant population dynamics. This limits our ability to understand the drivers …

The “varying constraints hypothesis” of fire in natural ecosystems postulates that the extent of fire in an ecosystem would differ according to the relative contribution of fuel load and fuel …
Context The superb lyrebird Menura novaehollandiae is thought to be an important ecosystem engineer that, through its foraging, accelerates the decomposition of litter in …
Grassland and savanna ecosystems, important for both livelihoods and biodiversity conservation, are strongly affected by ecosystem drivers such as herbivory, fire, and drought …
