Grasses fuel most fires on Earth and strongly influence local fire behaviour through traits that
determine how flammable they are. Therefore, grass communities that differ in their species …

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 …

In recent years, the frequency of wildfires worldwide has been gradually increasing, posing
significant threats to global ecosystems and human society. Given that plants serve as the …

In ecosystems where trees and grasses coexist, some grass species are found only in open
habitats and others persist under trees. The persistence of shade intolerant grasses in …

The UN “Decade on ecosystem restoration” demands urgent actions to bring back native
ecosystems from degraded lands. Tree seedlings are widely available for restoration …

Light, an important abiotic factor that shapes plant growth, is explored here in its impact on
two native C4 grasses of campo rupestre, an important and unique montane ecoregion in …

Knowing the abundance of different plant species provides insights into the properties of
vegetation communities, such as flammability. Therefore, a fundamental goal in ecology is …

The impact of microclimatic changes caused by Silvopastoral Systems (SPS) in subtropical
climates on C3 grasses persistence remains unclear, particularly concerning their effects on …

Objective: To evaluate the growth of Chetumal grass (Urochloa humidicola CIAT 679), in
order to determine the optimal moment for the first harvest. Design/Methodology/Approach …
